Nothing is as it seems on the pretty Cornish coast. The Famous Five don't believe that anyone would deliberately lure sailors on to the rocks - but somebody is flashing lights from the old tower on wild and stormy nights. Who can it be? Can Julian, Anne, Dick, George and Timmy resolve the puzzle? The Battle of Towton in North Yorkshire, fought during the Wars of the Roses, was reputedly the bloodiest battle ever seen on English soil. In 1996 a mass grave of soldiers was discovered there by chance. This was the catalyst for a multidisciplinary research project, still unique in Britain ten years after the initial discovery, which included a study of the skeletal remains, Seduction in Mind download PDF the battlefield landscape, the historical evidence and contemporary arms and armour. The discoveries were dramatic and moving; the individuals had clearly suffered traumatic deaths and subsequent research highlighted the often multiple wounds each individual had received before and, in some cases, after they had died. As well as the exciting forensic work the project also revealed much about medieval weaponry and fighting. Blood Red Roses contains all the information about this fascinating discovery, as well as discussing its wider historical, heritage and archaeological implications. The second edition features new chapters by a re-enactor and a history teacher, which apply the research from the initial study to produce a veritable 'living history'.
