To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It afforded less auspici- ous shelter to the unfortunate Duke of York, who had appointed Sandall-Castle as the rendezvous of his army. Margaret, however, ever prompt and active, reached the spot with her troops before [ 236 ] his forces could muster there, and threatening a siege, compelled him to a battle. Shakespeare has faithfully delineated York's character, when he makes him despise the great inequality of the numbers which were opposed to each other on the occasion: " Five men to twenty !... though the odds be great, " I doubt not, uncle, of our victory.
" Many a battle have I won in France, " When as the enemy hath been ten to one; " Why should I not now have the like success?" But the event did not justify his confidence. The Yorkists were routed, the Duke killed, and the castle taken. On the spot where the Duke fell, a stone memorial was erected, after the discomfi- ture of the Queen's party, and continued there till the civil wars in the seventeenth century, when it was removed.
