Battle of Tewkesbury
The climactic battle of the Wars of the Roses unfolds at Tewkesbury, where the Yorkist forces under King Edward IV clash with the Lancastrian army led by Queen Margaret of Anjou and Prince Edward of W
Setting
The battlefield near Tewkesbury Abbey, a muddy and uneven terrain with patches of trampled grass and scattered bodies. The abbey's towering structure looms in the background, its stone walls stained with the grime of battle. The field is littered with weapons, banners, and the fallen, creating a chaotic and grim landscape.

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, slightly tousled from battle, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with strategic intensity. His face bears the marks of both youth and the weight of kingship, with a strong jawline and a faint scar along his left cheek from past conflicts.
Queen Margaret of Anjou
primary
A woman in her early forties, with a regal yet weary countenance. Her once-vibrant auburn hair is now streaked with grey, pulled tightly into a braided bun beneath her headdress. Her piercing blue eyes, though shadowed with fatigue, burn with fierce determination. Her posture is upright, betraying her noble upbringing, but her hands are clenched, revealing her tension.
Richard, Duke of Gloucester
secondary
A young man in his late teens, with a wiry but strong build. His face is sharp-featured, with piercing eyes that reflect both determination and a keen strategic mind. His dark hair is slightly tousled from the helmet he wears, and a faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, a remnant of past battles.
Prince Edward of Westminster
secondary
A young man of 17 years, slender yet with the beginnings of a warrior's build. His face is pale and smooth, with high cheekbones and piercing blue eyes that reflect both his royal lineage and the intensity of the moment. His dark brown hair is slightly tousled from the helmet he has recently removed, falling just above his shoulders.
Yorkist Captain
secondary
A grizzled veteran with a scar running from temple to jawline, earned in previous battles. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with the precision of a seasoned commander.
Lancastrian Soldier
background
A weary and battle-hardened man in his late 30s, with a gaunt face marked by scars and a thick, unkempt beard. His sunken eyes show exhaustion, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons. His chainmail is dented and bloodstained, and his gambeson is torn in several places.
Dialog
King Edward IV
By God's grace, we shall break them now! Richard, press the left flank—let not a single Lancastrian slip the noose!
Queen Margaret of Anjou
Mon fils, stand firm! The crown is yours by right—let these Yorkist curs feel the bite of Lancaster's steel!
Yorkist Captain
Close ranks, lads! Drive them into the river—let the waters run red with their treason!
King Edward IV
Margaret's wolf-pack falters. Today, the throne is secured—by steel and by right.
Queen Margaret of Anjou
Cowardice will not be forgiven! If you flee, I will see you hanged myself!
Yorkist Captain
The day is ours, sire! Their line shatters like rotten timber!
Queen Margaret of Anjou
Edward of York, this is not over! The blood you spill today will drown your cursed house!
