On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, Britain lost 20K soldiers killed. Machine guns, poison gas, flamethrowers, planes and massive artillery. This battle, 500 years prior, lost 28K killed. With just bows, spears and swords. A bloody massacre, that has still never been topped as our bloodiest day.

[@METALFREAK03]

@tonyantonio8956 I probably should explain my last comment as I thought your comment is a bit random. (just saying a random battle from somewhere in the world in some other time) Of COURSE, there will be more dead at a) that time b) that country and c) in that war. But you have to look at percentages and the way it was fought. "bloodiest" doesn't mean the AMOUNT of deaths, it means HOW they died. Also its population, the population of England when this took place would have not even been a million (maybe a couple or so) probably, so 20k men is quite a lot. Also MEN (as in male pop) 20k out of however many men is quite a lot % wise. So the soviet battle, although seems a lot as numbers, if you take Russia's population then and how much they lost. I doubt it is the same as what England lost in WW1 or battle of roses, in comparision. (we lost 88% of our male pop in WW1 for instance, and 25% of that was due to ONE battle as noted by the OP). But yes, bloodiest battle in ENGLISH history is probably the phrase. Of course OTHER COUNTRIES with FAR BIGGER POPULATIONS will have MORE AMOUNT OF DEATHS than a little island in the north atlantic. That is a given.

And hear on land that I've probably walked my dog on, lies England's biggest battle. Crazy to think that I've not heard about this before. Truly spine chilling.

I've watched quite a few other 'ancient battle' channels, with some really going to town on the presentation... like an internet game... 'real' soldiers waving their arms about and such, but - for some reason - none of them are as enjoyable as your uploads (which is why I only subscribe to your channel). Your 'little boxes' and overviews somehow give me a much clearer picture of the whole scene, and - along with your superb narration - I can get really drawn into the battle much more so than watching the other channels. Maybe because your narration helps us imagine the scene ourselves, and the horrible details that we learn about during those times paints a much more vivid recreation in our imagination... or is that just me lol Thank you mate... another cracking upload.

Plus the firing a volley and stepping back, waiting for the return volley to fall short. I live a couple of miles away from Towton (hey, you pronounced it right unlike many). Visited the site many times and am very proud of it and of the local legends. Have you ever read Edmund Bog and the wee bit he wrote about it? Might not be on the internet. Dunno. More killed in one day than the whole of the battle of Gettysburg were killed or wounded over 2 or 3 days.

I wild camped and slept on this battlefield as part of one of my cycle expeditions. I made doing this sort of thing, my thing and as I've cycle toured Europe and the UK I've wild camped on dozens of famous battlefields all across Europe. There's something many of the more remote ones have in common. An erie quiet, a sort of unquiet stillness. Towton was one of the places where I found this phenomena very pronounced.

[@dm51964]

Superb. Some have recently suggested the numbers involved in the battle are wrong and were far lower but they appear not take into consideration that there was no major conflict for almost a decade after Towton. The battle was also still in peoples memory even under the reign of Richard III and he planned to build a large memorial chapel for the dead. For Edward IV Towton was a total grudge match as he wished to revenge his father and brother and the reason he fought with so much determination. The burial pit that was excavated in the 1990's shows the levels of ferocity that was met out and some have even suggested the wounds appear to have been overkill and may display the levels hatred felt towards the enemy. Whatever the numbers involved it was certainly a pivotal battle and walking the area in early spring on a dark damp day you can feel the atmosphere that still hangs over the place.

[@harryford8340]

Excellent as always. Bloody Meadow was at the end of the battle rather than the main plain it was fought on but you're right that Towton is famous for it, as is Tewkesbury. You might want to edit the graphics a little - you have Towton as Townton and half of Norfolk has disappeared into The Wash when Edward is marching north. But that aside, superbly put together once again.

[@markstott6689]

That's because prior to the 17th century drainage schemes there was a lot more land under water. The sea came a lot further inland. There was salt Marsh, freshwater Marsh and Islands in-between. The map used represents this very well. It thus shows the terrain that armies had to deal with at the time. If, for example, you used a modern map and then showed Norfolk's Company marching to say Bury St Edmunds before turning northward, you would wonder why they hadn't just gone via Boston, a much shorter route.

I have a theory this will be the basis for one of the last battles in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series.
