Face to Face with the 1266 Protagonists

The wargame re-fight of the Battle of Chesterfield is just one of the attractions on offer on Sunday May 15th in New Square.

Here's a preview of some of the combatants.

Some of the leading Rebels...















John d'Ayville (Terror of Yorkshire) and Baldwin Wake, erstwhile Lord of Chesterfield.












Henry d'Ireton, John de Clinton and Henry de Hastings were also amongst the Rebels in Chesterfield that day.



As well as Henry of Almain, nephew to King Henry III (who would have carried the royal coat-of-arms),














Warin de Basingbourne, John de Balliol and Peter de Brus were other Royalist commanders.



Thanks to Nigel Nicholson for these images. See them in the "flesh" on Sunday 15th May.
