It's also the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Towton: the bloodiest battle in English history, that ended the War of the Roses. A massive 28,000 men died in the battle, and there's a new mass grave about to be opened.
A previous one furnished the material for Blood Red Roses: which was shocking, surprising and illuminating evidence just how men met their ends in battle, as well as what kind of wounds they suffered in earlier battles, and survived.
