Yorkshire's
past
is
replete
with
bloody
battles
and
sieges.
From
the
earliest
times
armies
have
marched
across
the
Yorkshire
countryside
and
have
fought
for
control
of
the
land,
the
towns
and
the
cities.
Roman,
Viking,
Norman
and
the
Scottish
invaders
have
all
contributed
ruthless
episodes
to
the
story.
Christian
fought
pagan,
Englishman
fought
foreign
invader,
and
loyalist
fought
rebel,
in
some
of
the
most
destructive
battles
of
British
history.
And
bitter
internal
conflicts,
which
set
neighbour
against
neighbour,
created
an
equally
violent
heritage
as
rival
lords
and
landowners
contended
for
power
and
influence
in
the
north.
David
Cooke
gives
a
vivid
description
of
the
outbreaks
of
warfare
that
have
punctuated
the
county's
history.
Using
graphic
contemporary
accounts
and
numerous
illustrations
and
maps,
he
creates
a
vivid
narrative
of
a
county
that
was
a
battleground
until
modern times.
