    Hi. I like this video very much. Just want to mention that Edmund of Rutland was 17, not 12, at the time of the battle.

      Thanks for pointing this out. I have added a note/correction in the film description. I hope this did not effect your enjoyment of the film too much. I think it was caused by my extremely poor handwriting when composing the script from my research.

      King Edward IV's younger brother Prince Edmund, Earl of Rutland had the last laugh even though he predeceased his brothers and failed to become king after his nephews King Edward V and Prince Richard died since he was killed at age 17 in the Battle of Wakefield in 1460 during the War of Roses, he has over 30,000 living direct descendants. 💐🌷🌹🌺🌸🌼💮

    The Pincer Movement has always puzzled me, We know that the Lancastrians Marched through Crofton to reach Sandal, Did they split into 3 Batailles 1 between St Helens Church and the 3 Houses, 1 on what is now the Sugar Lane Cemetery and 1 swinging around the riverbank? Google Earth shows the main battle lines on the River side of the Castle which makes no sense to me at all.
