Battlefield Yorkshire
This highly illustrated history covers the periods of warfare in Yorkshire from Roman times to the seventeenth century.Yorkshire's past is replete with bloody battles and sieges. Roman, Viking, Norman and the Scottish invaders have all contributed ruthless episodes to the story. From the earliest times, armies have marched across the Yorkshire countryside and have fought for control of the land, the towns and the cities.
And bitter internal conflicts, which set neighbor against neighbor, created an equally violent heritage as rival lords and landowners contended for power and influence in the north. Christian fought pagan, Englishman fought foreign invader, and loyalist fought rebel, in some of the most destructive battles of British history. David Cooke gives a vivid description of the outbreaks of warfare that have punctuated the county's history.
