Towton, battle of, 1461. Towton is unique among British battles for being fought in a blinding snowstorm. Edward IV, the 19-year‐old Yorkist claimant in the Wars of the
Roses, was proclaimed king in London early in March 1461 and pursued his adversaries north. Queen
Margaret and her hapless husband Henry VI were at York. The armies clashed at Ferrybridge on 28 March and did battle the following day at Towton, near Tadcaster. The slaughter was great and the Lancastrians routed.
