Towton 1461, England's Bloodiest Battle, by Christopher Gravett

On a bitterly cold Palm Sunday, 29th March 1461, the army of King Edward IV met that of his Lancastrian enemies on a snow-covered battlefield south of the village of Towton in Yorkshire.  The struggle lasted all day in the longest and bloodiest battle of the Wars of the Roses.  With the arrival of Yorkist reinforcements under the Duke of Norfolk, the Lancastrian line eventually broke and their troops fled, many being caught and slaughtered in the death trap known as 'Bloody Meadow'.  This book examines the campaign that marked the resurgence of the Yorkist cause and established King Edward IV as king.

Bosworth 1485, Last Charge of the Plantagenets by Christopher Gravett

On 22 August 1485 a king and a challenger for the throne faced each other on a battlefield for the first time in the Wars of the Roses, at stake was the throne itself. The Battle of Bosworth is therefore one of the most important battles in English history as it effectively put an end to the dynastic struggle of the Wars of the Roses and placed the Tudor house on the throne of England. Since his death in battle against Henry Tudor, argument has raged around the central figure to the story, the controversial King Richard III. Shakespeare's image of a twisted and tortured king remains influential despite years of academic study, whilst the mystery of the Princes in the tower still retains its potency. Christopher Gravett cuts through this myth and propaganda to detail the course of this pivotal campaign that decided the fate of a dynasty.

ARTIST
Featured Artist - Gerald Coulson



Gerald Coulson has been painting professionally for over 30 years and has a reputation that is second to none. Entirely self taught, he developed his technique to such a high standard that his work was published as fine art prints, enabling him to begin a full time painting career in 1969. Since that time his work, covering many different subjects, has been published and marketed worldwide as both open and limited edition prints. Gerald has had many one-man shows both in the UK and the USA and his work has been extensively exhibited throughout the world. A recent one man show of his in the UK attracted more than 3000 people in two days. The Fine Art Trade Guild have placed him in the top ten best selling artists no less than fifteen times - three times at number one. Coulson's passion for aircraft stems from childhood. This passion led to an apprenticeship as an aircraft engineer after which he served in the RAF as a technician and with British Airways as an engineer at Heathrow. His knowledge of aircraft engineering, combined with his drawing ability, led to him becoming a Technical Illustrator of service manuals for Civil and Military aircraft. These experiences and technical background have allowed him an insight and intimate knowledge of the aircraft he paints. Along with a unique ability to capture these aircraft on canvas this naturally led to a painting career which he has developed to successfully cover a wide variety of subjects. Following a trip to the 1991 British Grand Prix his interest in Motor racing was fuelled. His ability to capture the technical detail and a talent for painting subjects at speed meant that this was a perfect natural progression alongside his aviation work and he is now also firmly established as one of the worlds leading motor racing artists. A Vice President and founder member of the Guild of Aviation Artists he is a four times winner of the Flight International Trophy for outstanding aviation painting. He qualified for his pilots licence in 1960 and is still actively flying today - mostly vintage aircraft, and can often be seen buzzing over the Fens of Cambridgeshire in a Tiger Moth. Whatever the subject he paints, whether aviation, landscape or portrait, his unique ability to capture the realism and 'mood'of the scene is unsurpassed, making him one of the most widely collected and highly regarded artists in the world today.
