										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;">&#8216;The largest, longest, bloodiest and most murderous battle ever fought in Britain&#8217;</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">A free talk will be held on the 31 March between 14:00-15:00 at the National Archives. This talk is an introduction to the biggest battle of the Wars of the Roses, the decisive clash in a snowstorm at Towton in Yorkshire on 29 March 1461.</p>
<p>Information from <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/events/battle-Towton.htm" target="_blank">The National Archives&#8217;</a> website:</p>
<p>A new English dynasty came to the throne with Edward IV&#8217;s victory, but more Englishmen may have died at Towton than on the first day of the battle of the Somme. The talk will outline the events of that day, look at some of The National Archives&#8217; sources for the battle and examine the participants&#8217; motivations.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. James Ross</strong> is a medieval records specialist at the National Archives. He has a particular interest in the politics of the Wars of the Roses, and the nobility and gentry during the period.</p>
