Two
seasoned commanders, leading as many as 10,000 troops, met on
the
battlefield of Blore Heath, England on 23 September 1459 in one of the
first battles of the
Wars
of the Roses. Both Lord Audley (James Touchet), 5th Baron of Audley and
Heighley Castle,
and
Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury fought, each defending the claim to
the English throne.
