Very interesting, I used to live just down the road in Sherburn in Elmet and passed Towton frequently during that time. I often wondered about the battle and what it must have been like, and why Towton?! Did these historians ever think about checking local records for what may have happened to the Chapel, or if in fact it ever even existed?!

[@Roseturpin]

They should investigate marston just down the road .

[@robertmastnak581]

Very interesting fakts about most blodie medieval battle on English soil.

[@margaretbanks8969]

At the time of towton richard 3 was 8 years old.😊

[@robertkustos2931]

And Richard 3rd was found buried in a carpark in Leicester. That's what happens when you didn't pay for horse parking in medieval times.

[@annefox6552]

It wasn't a car Park in the fourteen hundreds..It was the Churches grounds. Other people were already buried there...

[@cornishmaid9138]

It’s depicted here that those fighting were all wearing full armour. I find it difficult to believe that the ordinary country man who fought had, or could afford, armour. 🤔

[@user-ck3uu8rj3x]

I'm wondering, if this footage was achieved with the help of a local reenactment society, then EVERYBODY wants to be a Knight, no one wants to be the dung collector sent to war...

[@michaelbinney9913]

The knights had armer.

[@jessh5310]

About 1-5% of persons would have full armour. The average "soldier" would be a farmer with a gambion (thickly padded compressed jacket made of wool and cotton, sometimes with a leather over jacket or sometimes chain mail ( 50-75%). They tried to give everyone a helmet. Fighting would mostly take place outside of farming time to reduce the number of peasants going home to "harvest, sow seed, etc". The footage is mostly from re-enactments such as the battle of Bosworth,(Leicestershire) (worth a visit)

[@Hugh_Morris]

Ever soldier would have at least tried to wear a helmet

[@johnsamu]

Great video, almost like a detective novel. In hindsight he should've talked to that archeological building expert years before, it would've saved him years of searching. ESPECIALLY because that guy implied it happens all the time when these buildings are repurposed. He only needed to look at the orientation of the skeletons ti know the orientation of the lost chapel.

[@rexbarron4873]

Why is it that here like Agincourt nobody had shields. You know , the big shieldy thing that takes the sting out of arrows and can be discarded when nessessary. Very, very strange. Seemed to work everywhere else.

[@juliemercer1458]

Big shieldy thing 😂 brilliant.....

[@user-ck3uu8rj3x]

It's the technical jargon that I come to youtube for. Thank you. 😂

[@geoffreymawdsley8102]

[@jessh5310]

They did. Arrows stuck in a shield tend to make it heavy. Eventually you have issues keeping it over your head.

[@scrubsrc4084]

Modern documentaries have too much emption and moralising rather than just straight history

[@cadderley100]

You want to use Lidar mate. That's what you really need to start using.

[@paulannable3734]

Why does the detectorist man think his arrowhead was stuck in a human body? I’d say it was much more likely that it missed and ended up stuck in the ground.

[@philipr1567]

I wonder if arrows stuck in the ground would have been collected for re-use.

[@ftumschk]

@@philipr1567 Yes, they were

[@philipsmith7913]

I may be mistaken but wasn’t the same archaeologist the person who promulgated the after-battle massacre of prisoners that is, now, debunked?

[@Roseturpin]

Think I’ll have a look down there with me minelab 🤓

[@robertkustos2931]

I went there back in the early 90's and asked a farmer for permission. He said no. He said someone is already detecting there for about 10 yrs and all he found was horse shoes. I thought you wouldn't go for 10 yrs and just to find horse shoes. I dare not say here what was running through my mind at the time about the farmer😆

[@michaelbinney9913]

Bit late to party 🤣we was hammering that place in late eighties to 94

[@michaelbinney9913]

[@anthonywest2989]

I'd say they were unarmed prisoners ie no helmets at the time of death.

[@Christianorokawa]

Can someone explain chivalric battle wounds as opposed to ….. 😂

[@user-ck3uu8rj3x]

Simple, with detailed minute testing they can detect miniscule traces of the attacker apologising as they hacked them to death.

[@brucemercer8441]

If they were wearing armour, where is the armour gone?????..... Not likely decompose like mortal human remains?!?!?...

[@asburycollins9182]

Its standard to loot any metal bc of its high value at the time. Finding armour is very much uncommon :)

[@garethjones6020]

The bodies would have been stripped and anything of value taken to be re-used.

[@weeddegree]

Men had no value.. what they fought with was

[@davehoward22]

You wouldn't bury chain mail and armour

[@user-xh1mw6do7w]

Don't pay too much attention to the superficial comments by the building expert who was obviously playing to camera to produce a dramatic TV show. The technical flaws and errors in his comments and almost complete lack of analysis of the existing building make his comments great entertainment but little more.. A shame as in some ways a more thorough examination of the current buildings history and pathology could have made a more interesting and realistic programme
