The battles of Mortimer’s Cross and Second St. Albans: The regional dimension

Fleming, Peter

Abstract

This chapter discusses two battles during the 15th-century Wars of the Roses from the point of view of strategy in the west of England and Anglo-Welsh Marches, and suggests that their outcome was crucial - and hitherto unappreciated - to the political history of England in this period.
