Description

Die Schlacht von Northampton fand am 10. Juli 1460 statt und war ein entscheidender Wendepunkt im Rahmen der Rosenkriege zugunsten des Hauses York. In der Schlacht standen sich die königlichen Truppen Heinrichs VI. aus dem Haus Lancaster und die Truppen des Hauses York unter des Kommandants Richard Neville, 16. Earl of Warwick gegenüber. Die Schlacht endete mit einem Sieg des Hauses York und dem Tod wichtiger Vertreter des Hauses Lancaster.
Die Yorkisten schienen nach der Katastrophe an der Brücke von Ludford am Ende zu sein. Einige der Yorkistischen Kommandanten, Richard Neville, 16. Earl of Warwick, Richard Neville, 5. Earl of Salisbury und der älteste Sohn von Richard Plantagenet, 3. Duke of York, Eduard, Earl of March, erreichten Calais am 2. November 1459, wo Warwick seinen Onkel Lord Fauconberg traf. Währenddessen zogen sich York und sein zweitältester Sohn, Edmund, Earl of Rutland, in das sichere Irland zurück.
