=== Battle of Blore Heath ===
: "In September 1459 the armies of the House of Lancaster and the House of York met on a damp Sunday morning at Blore Heath.... Thousands of men from across England fought and died in a bloody battle, which lasted for the rest of that day."[http://www.bloreheath.org/bh1.php?ref=bh1 Battle of Blore Heath], Blore Heath Heritage Group
: Lord Audley, commander of the Lancastrian forces, set up an ambush of Yorkist forces commanded by Sir Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, on "the barren heathland of Blore Heath".[http://www.bloreheath.org/summary.php?ref=summary Summary of the Battle], Blore Heath Heritage Group
: "During the 15th century Wars of the Roses, in the struggle for power between the rival houses of Lancaster and York, an army of 5,000 Yorkists under the command of the Earl of Salisbury were intercepted whilst marching south to join forces with Duke of York. The newly recruited 10,000 strong Lancastrian force under the command of Lord Audley advanced, but were decimated as they crossed marshy ground."[http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryMagazine/DestinationsUK/The-Battle-of-Blore-Heath/ The Battle of Blore Heath], History Magazine
: Lord Audley was "killed on the field"[http://www.battlefieldstrust.com/resource-centre/warsoftheroses/battlepageview.asp?pageid=617 The Battle], Battlefield Trust in a "period of brutal fighting.... With his death, John Sutton, Baron Dudley, took command and led forward an additional 4,000 infantry. Like the others, this attack proved unsuccessful.... With Audley dead and their lines wavering, the Lancastrian army broke from the field in a rout. Fleeing the heath, they were pursued by Salisbury's men as far as the River Tern (two miles away) where additional casualties were inflicted."[http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/battleswars14011600/p/bloreheath.htm About Education]: "Wars of the Roses: Battle of Blore Heath," by By Kennedy Hickman ("selected sources": [http://www.battlefieldstrust.com/resource-centre/warsoftheroses/battleview.asp?BattleFieldId=6 Battlefield Trust] and [http://www.warsoftheroses.com/bloreheath.cfm Wars of the Roses])
