A Collection of References and WWW Pages

The First Battle of St Albans, fought on 22 May 1455 at St Albans, 22
miles (35 km) north of London, traditionally marks the beginning of
the Wars of the Roses. Richard, Duke of York and his ally, Richard
Neville, Earl of Warwick, defeated the Lancastrians under Edmund, Duke
of Somerset, who was killed. York also captured Henry VI, who
appointed him Constable of England.
