Yorkshire Battles

"Yorkshire Battles" by Edward Lamplough is a historical exploration of the significant military battles that unfolded within Yorkshire, as written in the late 19th century. The narrative starts with ancient conflicts fought between Roman and barbarian forces, setting the stage for a journey through the region's tumultuous past. It then introduces clashes between groups like the Britons and Saxons, and mentions figures such as King Edwin of Northumbria. By focusing on these pivotal events, the book aims to illustrate local history and heritage through the themes of courage, allegiance, and the profound socio-political consequences of combat in shaping Yorkshire and its people.
