The Battle of Hexham (15 May 1464) fought near the town of Hexham in Northumberland marked the end of significant Lancastrian resistance in the north of England during the early part of the reign of Edward IV. There is a legend that Queen Margaret of Anjou took refuge after the battle in what is known as The Queen's Cave, where she was accosted by a robber, but in reality Queen Margaret had fled to France by the time the battle took place.
