Battle of Losecoat Field
King Edward IV's Yorkist forces ambush the Lincolnshire rebels at Losecoat Field, causing panic and chaos as rebels discard their identifying livery coats in a desperate attempt to flee.
Setting
A muddy field near Empingham, Rutland, England, surrounded by sparse woodland and rolling hills. The ground is churned up by the movement of men and horses, with patches of melting snow revealing the early spring thaw.

TNGF
SELECTED
King Edward IV
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late twenties with a commanding presence. His fair hair is shoulder-length, and his clean-shaven face bears the marks of battle experience. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with calculated intensity.
Yorkist Captain
secondary
A battle-hardened man in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of warfare. His face is weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone. His dark brown hair is cropped short under his sallet helm, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with practiced efficiency.
Rebel Leader
primary
A burly man in his late 30s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, unkempt beard. His muscular build suggests years of labor, and a fresh scar runs across his left cheek, likely from a recent skirmish. His hands are calloused, gripping a notched sword tightly.
Fleeing Rebel
background
A young man in his early twenties, lean and wiry from hard labor, with a ruddy complexion and short, unkempt brown hair. His face is streaked with sweat and mud, and his wide, fearful eyes dart about as he searches for an escape route.
Yorkist Archer
background
A lean, wiry man in his late twenties with sun-weathered skin and a close-cropped beard. His hands are calloused from years of drawing bowstrings, and his keen eyes are narrowed in concentration as he selects his targets.
Dialog
King Edward IV
By St. George, they break like frightened hares! See how they cast aside their liveried coats - let this field be remembered as Losecoat indeed!
Yorkist Captain
Your Grace, their left flank crumbles - shall we loose the archers to harry their retreat?
Rebel Leader
Stand fast, you cowardly dogs! Would you have these Yorkist bastards say Lincolnshire men ran like whipped curs?
King Edward IV
Nay, Captain - let them flee and spread word of this day's lesson. A rebel's courage lasts only until his first sight of proper steel.
Rebel Leader
God's blood! If we must die, let it be with swords in hand, not backs turned!
Yorkist Captain
The rebel captain makes his last stand, Your Grace. Shall we grant him the warrior's death he seeks?
King Edward IV
No. Let him live to tell how Edward Plantagenet shows mercy even to traitors - once properly humbled.
