The account
The Wars of the Roses were all but decided at Tewkesbury in 1471, where the Lancastrian heir was killed and the field called Bloody Meadow earned its name.
Leads, where the trail points now
- The field is at Gloucestershire, England, and arms, shot, and relics still come out of the ground there.
- Detecting or digging needs landowner or park permission, and any significant find should be recorded; many battlefields are protected.
- Work the documented account of The Battle of Tewkesbury to learn where the fighting, the camps, and the rout actually ran before you look.
