The Earl of Warwick kills his horse before the battle of Towton, so his men will know he'll stay until the last.

The Battle of Towton was fought during the English Wars of the Roses on 29 March 1461 in Yorkshire. It was "probably the largest and bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil". According to chroniclers, more than 50,000 soldiers from the Houses of York and Lancaster fought for hours amidst a snowstorm. A newsletter circulated a week after the battle reported that 28,000 men died. The engagement brought about a monarchical change in England—Edward IV displaced Henry VI as King of England.
