The Battle of Tabcaster
The Battle of Touton was the largest and bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil. Lancastrian commanders realize their best hope is to close the gap and use their numbers. They charge down the slope, straight into their enemy. The fighting is frenzied, brutal, terrifying. Edward's archers form a line above the river and rain arrows into the retreating men.
