Medieval warfare was just as terrifying as you might imagine

The soldier now known as Towton 25 had survived battle before. A healed skull fracture points to previous engagements. He was old enough-somewhere between 36 and 45 when he died-to have gained plenty of experience of fighting. But on March 29th 1461, his luck ran out.
