The Battle that secured the English Throne: 1471 Historical Battle of Barnet | Total War Battle

On 14 April 1471, Easter Day, near Barnet, then a small Hertfordshire town north of London, Edward led the House of York in a fight against the House of Lancaster, which backed Henry VI for the throne. Leading the Lancastrian army was Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, who played a crucial role in the fate of each king. Historians regard the battle as one of the most important clashes in the Wars of the Roses since it brought about a decisive turn in the fortunes of the two houses. Edward's victory was followed by 14 years of Yorkist rule over England. 00:00 Introduction 00:45 Westminster's revolt 01:25 Tensions rise 02:30 The Battle of Edgcote 03:09 The rebellion continues 03:48 The Lancastrian army 04:31 The Yorkist army 05:41 The Night movements 06:29 The battle positions 07:27 Oxford attacks the Yorkist left 08:45 The battle in the centre 10:14 Oxford returns 10:44 The Lancastrian line begins to collapse 11:36 Warwick attempts to make his escape 12:28 Aftermath
