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.
Did King Edward IV's younger brother Edmund, Earl of Rutland die a virgin? 👑💍
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.
