This work details a series of significant battles that occurred in England during the fifteenth century, a tumultuous period marked by civil strife, particularly the Wars of the Roses between the Houses of York and Lancaster. The book combines historical anecdotes with archaeological observations, as the author recounts his visits to various battlefields and examines their historical contexts and consequences. The opening of the book presents a preface in which Brooke sets the scene for the violent conflicts that characterized England during the fifteenth century, particularly focusing on the Wars of the Roses. He discusses notable battles, the political motivations behind the conflicts, and the tragic loss of life that resulted from these power struggles. In the beginning chapters, he specifically describes his visits to the battlefield of Shrewsbury, providing detailed historical accounts of the battle, its key players, and the aftermath. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these historic events to gain insight into England’s rich and turbulent past, while also noting the way these battles shaped the modern landscape of the country.
