This Day in History Entry #111

March 29th, 2011 by Wordsman

Tensions ‘tween Yorks and Lancasters taut
On Palm Sunday, a battle was fought
Though Ed’s forces were few
A propitious wind blew
Henry Beaufort’s defense: all for naught

Event: Battle of Towton results in Edward IV replacing Henry VI as King of England
Year: 1461
