Blore Heath was one of the earliest and most bloody battles in The War of the Roses - between the houses of York and Lancaster. The site saw a re-enactment of the 1459 battle in 2005 and this knight, reflecting on the battle ahead is one of a series of images available through Alamy depicting scenes of the individuals and skirmishes represented.
