The little known Siege of London in 1471 was a turning point in the WOTR’s. The city was attacked for two days by rebel forces led by the Bastard of Fauconberg while Henry VI’s fate hung in the balance.
My new book from The History Press tells the intriguing story this autumn!

Love this image of old London Bridge ‘falling down’. Historically speaking the bridge was in a state of falling and rebuilding most of its life, and it features strongly in my new #WarsoftheRoses book published this autumn by the The History Press
