Eyewitness accounts of the men who fought as captains, archers, artillerymen, billmen, men-at-arms and cavalry - both in England and abroad - are used to paint a picture of 15th-century conflict in all its confusion and violence. Evidence gleaned from the recently discovered mass grave close to the battlefield at Towton in North Yorkshire sheds additional light on the kind of men who fought in the Wars of the Roses, and the text is supported by contemporary illustrations and diagrams.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Boardman\u003c\/b\u003e has written extensively on English military history, his previous books include\u003ci\u003e The Battle of Towton, The Medieval Soldier in the Wars of the Roses\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Hotspur \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eBattle of Shrewsbury.\u003c\/i\u003e He regularly lectures on the battles of the Wars of the Roses and is co-editor of the journal \u003ci\u003eBattlefield\u003c\/i\u003e.
