	Battle of Stoke Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Stoke Field, which took place on June 16, 1487, marked the last dying breath of the Wars of the Roses.
		Henry VII of England now held the throne for the House of Lancaster, and had gained the acceptance of the Yorkist faction by his marriage to their heiress, Elizabeth of York, but his hold on power was not entirely secure.
		Lincoln was killed in battle, and Lovell probably drowned in the Trent.

		Both armies were divided into three battles (divisions), four hours were spent as the huge masses of men lined up in the blizzard conditions and awaited the final stragglers.

		The White Rose was one of the many emblems which were used by King Edward IV, and he is said to have bourne it at the battle of Towton 1461 as a symbol of his father's right to some lands and a castle in the North.
