Why did peace break down in 1459?
The flight of the Yorkist’s
Warwick refused to obey government and the reaction of the duke of
Buckingham to his actions saw Queen make ready for war and weapons
ordered.
Letters sent out summoning military forces to Leicester in May and
greater council summoned to meet in Coventry in June 1459.
Those who failed to come were indicted.
York heard that the Queen was making a move against them and so he
made a meeting of his own in Ludlow, his castle in the Welsh marches.
Sept 1459 Warwick escaped somerset but his father Salisbury was
captured, despite this he luckily defeated lord Audley , leader of the
Lancastrian forces.
Yorkists sent a message to the king about the behaviour of his evil
advisors.
Court responded by saying they will pardon those who lay down their
weapons with exception of those involved in Audley death.
No one did this so the 2 sides met at ludford bridge on the 12 October.
Yorkists failed to gather support and were outnumbered 3 to 1.
Lost support of Calais men who were brought over by Warwick but not
prepared to fight against king who was also there, so they switched
teams.
When darkness fell Yorkist leaders fled and left weapons and even
families behind.
York headed to Ireland with his second son Edmund.
While eldest son Edward headed south with the Nevilles and went to
Calais.
Yorks 2 youngest sons left behind at ludford.
