Tewkesbury 1471: The last Yorkist victory
ISBN: 9781841765143 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book Christopher Gravett details the climactic events of 1471 and the battle that virtually extinguished the Lancastrian cause.

The Lancastrian King Henry VI was even a prisoner in the Tower of London. By 1470, however, Edward's erstwhile ally the Earl of Warwick - The 'Kingmaker' - had joined the Lancastrians and a final reckoning was inevitable. Warwick perished at Barnet in April 1471, and on 4 May Edward confronted his enemies,...

Osprey's Campaign title for the Battle of Hastings, which was fought on 14th October 1066 between Duke William of Normandy and Harold Godwinson, king of England, and whichirrevocably changed the course of English history. William's victory ensured his accession to the English throne.

William would survive...

24 Hours at Agincourt
ISBN: 9780753555460 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Jean de Croy had sworn a remarkable pact with 18 of his fellow knights: they would fight as a body and kill the English king, or die in the attempt. And so they did--launching themselves at the English line. Croy and all 18 of these knights were killed in fierce fighting, but not before they had got close enough to the king to strike repeated blows on his battle helmet, one of them severely damaging the crown that was welded to it--so that two of its rubies were smashed off."
Michael Jones brings the iconic battle vividly to life, drawing on countless authentic eyewitness... "Jean de Croy had sworn a remarkable pact with 18 of his fellow knights: they would fight as a body and kill the English king, or die in the attemp...
