The Forgotten Battle of St Albans

This spring SAHAAS and St Albans Museums bring you the first exhibition celebrating the the Second Battle of St Albans during the War of the Roses which remains largely forgotten. Fought in St Albans over 500 years ago on 17 February 1461, it was one of the largest battles in the conflict. The Lancastrian victory should have enabled them to win the war, but their failure to capture London and a shattering defeat a month later, led to a Yorkist monarchy and ultimately Richard III – thus the battle at St Albans was forgotten.
