EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle of Stoke, which took place on 16 June 1487. The image showcases a crucial moment in history when German mercenaries, led by Martin Schwarz, valiantly made their last stand against the formidable forces of the English king. Clad in armor and mounted on horses, these brave soldiers fought with unwavering determination. The engraving from c1880 vividly depicts the clash between two opposing armies. On one side, we see English longbowmen skillfully shooting steel-tipped arrows that outmatched the slower reloading crossbows of the Germans. This technological advantage played a significant role in securing an important victory for Henry VII. The battle itself marked a turning point as it brought an end to Lambert Simnel's rebellion and solidified Henry VII's claim to the Tudor dynasty throne. It was a day filled with conflict and death as men fought fiercely for power and control. In this historical snapshot, we witness not only a large group of people engaged in combat but also glimpses of period costumes worn by those involved. The scene is set outdoors amidst chaos and turmoil. This photograph serves as a reminder of our past struggles and triumphs while highlighting key figures like Martin Schwartz who played pivotal roles during this era-defining event: The Battle of Stoke
