p. 19-20

In SEP 1459 his father, Richard NEVILLE, Earl of Salisbury, born 1400, was expected to reach Ludlow, leading an armed force from the North to join forces with Richard PLANTAGENET, Duke of York, born 1411, and those soon to come from Calais under command of Richard NEVILLE, Earl of Warwick, born 1428. They were ambushed at a place called Blore Heath, to the north of Shrewsbury, by the Queen's [Marguerite d'ANJOU] army. He and his brother John, were taken captive but his father was able to fight his way free and sent word ahead to warn the Duchess of York, and that he should reach Ludlow by the next night.
