After bitke pri St. Albans boli chance to zmier between oboma parties at zero. Nevertheless niekoľkoročnej prestávke in bojoch sa both sides pripravovali on the next stret. Around the year 1458 Lancasterovci neskrývane mustered. In the Toweri odliali tri veľké doing that mali pokoriť every castle in England. The king ordered 500 peak and 3000 lukov.

Lancasterovci boli are ready udrieť and in apríli 1459 bol zvolaný parliament to Coventry, ktoré bolo home stronghold Lancasterovcov. The duke of York sa knows that lancasterski wow boli informed, to come aj so your oddielmi. Yorkovci odmietli vpadnúť to the footage and the parliament of sa did not attend. The duke of York, sa I decided sústrediť all forces to svojmu the residence of the castle of Ludlow. Warwick zobral part of the crew of Calais, and landed sa in Kent.

When počiatočné lung removal and failed, started sa fight prestrelkou lukostrelcov. Dad nepriniesla žiadaný effect, because both sides of the boli from the seba enough ďaleko. Žiadan zo o sa nehrnula into the attack to sa nepripravila about výhodne position in the zovretom faces.

In this momente sa Salisbury resorted to subterfuge. Nariadil part of your jednotiek, so they faked a retreat from bojiska. Thought, that neskúsení soldiers of the adversary sa neorganizovane rozbehnú prenasledovať ustupujúcu army. So sa aj happened. Lancastrian units utrpeli ťažké straty pri prekračovcaní creek.
