	Battle of Stoke Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Stoke Field, which took place on 16 June 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.
		The battle was bitterly contested for over 3 hours, but eventually, the lack of body armour on the Irish troops meant that they were cut down in increasing numbers.

	The Battle of Bosworth Field - Points of View.
		It seems that Dadlington's significance, during and after the battle has been obscured for centuries and it is only recently through the efforts of historians, that this significance is coming to light.
		Recent research has shown that many victims of the battle are buried in Dadlington, and thus King Henry VIII in 1511, chose it's church as the setting for a chantry commemorating the battle dead.
		Adding to the evidence is the number of human skeletons, battle debris and armoury, all from the famous battle that have been found within the parishes of Stoke Golding and Dadlington.

		Following a battle at Senlac near Hastings in 1066 at which Harold was killed, William took his forces along the Thames, past London, to Wallingford, where he was welcomed by Wigod.
