On the 21st of July 1403 fields situated north of Shrewsbury witnessed one of the bloodiest battles England had ever seen up to that point in history - The Battle of Shrewsbury.
Well over 1600 men perished that day and the church is said to have been built over a burial pit containing some of the dead retrieved from the blood soaked battlefields.
In this video I will take you through the lives of the main protagonists, the road to war for both sides and we will look at the actual battle itself including the first real arrow storm experienced by both sides men-at-arms.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
