Stoke Field 1487 was fascinating to read, though at times the narrative felt a bit dry. However, the chapter “Punishment and Reward” (pp. 86–89) was highly engaging and provided a strong conclusion. I especially appreciated the vivid depiction of the damaged craniums on page 85—it added authenticity and illustrated the tenacity with which the final battle was fought.The background and context surrounding the Battle of Stoke Field were clearly presented, making it easy to follow, dissect, and analyze how the rebels were ultimately defeated. My thanks to the author for the meticulous research, especially when dealing with such complex 15th-century English sources.
