The Battle for Rowsley Hill - 1462
(This is an invented dispute between two families that have, in real life, both been in possession of Haddon Hall & Estate. The names and events are all fictitious though I have used surnames of the real families that relate to, or have written about, the ownership of Haddon Hall in Derbyshire)
Part 1 - Prologue
The Manners and Vernon families had long been in disagreement over the Haddon Estate, and tensions had only risen since Edward IV had taken the throne. The Manners' had long supported the Yorkist cause in Edward’s rise to power, though the Vernons had subtly supported King Henry VI, though exclusively in non-military aid, such as publicly calling the deceased Duke of York a traitor after the battle of St Albans in 1455.
The Vernon family suddenly had a lot to gain, with everything to lose. The eldest of the Vernon men, Thomas, was convinced by his hot-headed brother Richard to march into Manners-held land and finally claim Haddon Hall for his family. Cowardly in nature, Thomas had not wished for open conflict, hoping instead for the Manners to merely leave the estate and not risk their own lives. Quite the opposite occurred however and, for the first time in many years, Thomas Vernon was having to dress in his harness of plate, ready for battle.
(https://i.ibb.co/BZ02SBV/IMG-1945.jpg) (https://ibb.co/T89MFtB)
Having heard that the Vernons would be marching to capture the strategically valuable hill by the village of Rowsley, Ralph Manners had an awfully difficult task ahead of him. Ensuring his Reckless younger brother Edward knew not to leave the hill overlooking the road, and convincing his long-term ally Sir George Cook to join him in the battle.
(https://i.ibb.co/CbRZYpQ/IMG-1949.jpg) (https://ibb.co/7ns5ZxK)
First, giving Edward his orders. The hill would be vital as it overlooked the most viable road leading to the Haddon Estate itself from the village of Rowsley, where Ralph’s scouts had seen the Vernons organising their forces the day before. Having shown his brother the expected direction of the Vernon attack, Ralph had to leave Edward on the hill, hoping that he would hold his position long enough for Ralph to return with his ally and turn the tide of the battle against their aggressors.
(https://i.ibb.co/8YdcgkY/IMG-1950.jpg) (https://ibb.co/rdcs29d)
Ralph immediately went on to use all of his inspiring presence to convince his long-time ally Sir George Cook into joining him in battle to defend against the Vernon invasion. Luckily, Sir George agreed and went about preparing his men. This would prove vital to the Manners’ as Sir George was a veteran of many battles, as well as a trusted ally in such turbulent times. There were no longer any questions in Ralph’s mind, the battle for Rowsley hill would commence imminently.
-
Thanks :D
If you know, you know ;)
(https://i.ibb.co/TkQPV9s/IMG-1980.jpg) (https://ibb.co/g30t5kx)
A cunning plan is brewing :)
-
Part 2 - Battle Commences
(https://i.ibb.co/68K9P0S/IMG-1952.jpg) (https://ibb.co/HCcwzTy)
Edward stood among his men on Rowsley hill. They weren’t really his men, and he knew it. They were his brother’s. Edward knew they didn’t trust him, thinking of him as hot-tempered and reckless. Ralph had never judged him for a fool though, not to his knowledge. If he had done so, then giving Edward command of the hill was far more reckless than Ralph was known for. Perhaps it was just desperation. Before doubt could settle in Edward’s mind, however, the Vernons arrived.
(https://i.ibb.co/8YP74g6/IMG-1951.jpg) (https://ibb.co/TWPgqMm)
(https://i.ibb.co/TPXSTg1/IMG-1953.jpg) (https://ibb.co/nQ2v0LB)
They came along the road from the East, splitting into two just as Ralph had told Edward to expect. Billmen serving under the distrusted Henry Bennett made their way into the forest to the North-East of the hill, as the archers hurried along the road. Behind them, one of Vernon’s prized possessions, a cannon, rolled into view. Edward felt fear for the first time since donning his armour, and did not like it.
(https://i.ibb.co/8z7THx3/IMG-1954.jpg) (https://ibb.co/3fCGnFX)
(https://i.ibb.co/8rCvsMh/IMG-1955.jpg) (https://ibb.co/jyN0fhp)
Just as Edward began to worry at the prospect of being outnumbered, Ralph returned with the remainder of the Manners forces, marching onto the road and facing the Vernon forces as they came towards him. The archery duel began and, while it was not a decisive affair, both sides were suffering casualties among their archers.
(https://i.ibb.co/x5cs1sm/IMG-1956.jpg) (https://ibb.co/cTpv6vb)
The Vernon archers parted, scattering to either side of the road, revealing the greatest threat to Ralph Manners’ men, the cannon. The crew were hurriedly preparing the weapon to fire as a huge crack rang out across the field. The cannon had malfunctioned! A cheer among the Manners’ archers turned into a relieved laugh, though the task of defeating the Vernons still needed to be done, and would still prove incredibly difficult if Sir George did not arrive in time.
(https://i.ibb.co/MVkyHqx/IMG-1957.jpg) (https://ibb.co/Nj2gqwd)
The younger of the Vernon brothers, Sir Richard Vernon, took his men away from the smoking carcass of the cannon and towards the forest. He never trusted this new technology anyway, and had seen too many well-trained men slain by their own devices to be too surprised by the incredible display of the future of warfare. He couldn’t help but smirk to himself as he ordered his men toward the enemy.
(https://i.ibb.co/WfSxVST/IMG-1959.jpg) (https://ibb.co/TtzvWzC)
With Richard Vernon behind him, Henry Bennett felt the pressure to impress. He marched his billmen toward the hill. Perhaps, he thought to himself, there could be a handsome reward for one who slays one of the Manners brothers, if not taking them for their ransom. With money on his mind, he pushed to the front of his men, eager to prove his worth.
(https://i.ibb.co/NN5bMnz/IMG-1960.jpg) (https://ibb.co/GMyNq3j)
Ralph Manners breathed a sigh of relief as he heard the beating of hooves behind him, Sir George had arrived! The day was not lost before it had begun.
-
Part 3 - Disaster
(https://i.ibb.co/c1NPLtV/IMG-1961.jpg) (https://ibb.co/qdRz59V)
Bennet’s billmen surged forwards, crashing into the men at arms serving under Edward Manners.
(https://i.ibb.co/37t1XJ9/IMG-1965.jpg) (https://ibb.co/rmnkPWR)
The fighting was vicious, but Manners’ men were worth their coin that day, pushing Bennet’s billmen back down the hill and into the forest. In the confusion of the melee, Bennet found himself up against Edward and was quickly slain by the far younger and more vicious warrior. Bennet’s men did not buckle, however, and though they were pushed back by Manners’ men at arms, they did not waver.
(https://i.ibb.co/0JcDtwk/IMG-1963.jpg) (https://ibb.co/nkbgCWT)
(https://i.ibb.co/pd2h89W/IMG-1964.jpg) (https://ibb.co/sqjWGM5)
While the Manners Archers on the road suffered heavy casualties, the archers upon the hill rained death down upon those serving the Vernons. Very few casualties had been caused by the various units of archers to anyone but each other.
(https://i.ibb.co/dMk1k1M/IMG-1966.jpg) (https://ibb.co/1QRhRhQ)
Eventually the archers on the road decided that they had suffered enough and the few remaining survivors sought cover, and rest, among the small outbuildings by the corn field.
(https://i.ibb.co/fS1Mz5Z/IMG-1967.jpg) (https://ibb.co/0XDqRS1)
Sir George, seeing that Richard Vernon was making his way around the back of Edward Manners’ men at arms, scaled the hill in order to offer support where required. He halted his unit of mounted men at arms with a raised hand and watched the melee unfolding in the forest. It was as though he was waiting for a signal before making his charge.
(https://i.ibb.co/G0M8T5Y/IMG-1968.jpg) (https://ibb.co/jTwQRr0)
Seeing the melee in the forest was going against his brother’s men, Sir Thomas Vernon, cowardly leader of the Vernon forces, reluctantly made his way toward the melee. His heart pounded and sweat poured off his brow, stinging his eyes though, hidden under all of his plate armour, the men around him didn’t notice.
(https://i.ibb.co/0Btcz1S/IMG-1970.jpg) (https://ibb.co/rbsmXqS)
Sir George locked eyes with Sir Richard Vernon who, in the middle of the melee, raised a hand as though he were waving to a friend. Sir George waved back, much to the dismay of the Manners men around him. He turned his horse and led his men away. Ralph could not believe what he was seeing. He was more certain of Sir George as an ally than Edward, his own brother. Ralph’s heart felt like it was about to burst as he saw Sir Richard’s men moving to attack Edward’s. Knowing that Richard Vernon was a renowned swordsman that outclassed both him and his brother, Ralph made his way toward the melee. This could be the end he thought to himself, but what an end it will be.
-
Part 4 - The End
(https://i.ibb.co/nn4Fx71/IMG-1973.jpg) (https://ibb.co/qWhvTNg)
With his heart pounding so hard that he felt as though he might burst out of his harness, Ralph Manners directed his men toward Richard Vernon, hoping not to have to personally face him in the melee that would unfold.
(https://i.ibb.co/9TMq8PV/IMG-1974.jpg) (https://ibb.co/J7hzBZy)
Similarly anxious but full of reckless vigour, Edward Manners caused many further casualties to the billmen who had served under the deceased Henry Bennett while suffering very few of their own. They turned to face the much bigger threat of Richard Vernon’s men at arms and braced for impact.
(https://i.ibb.co/9gWJD0M/IMG-1975.jpg) (https://ibb.co/zxZ1Mgk)
At the same time, the cowardly leader of the Vernon army, Sir Thomas Vernon, followed his men into melee with the Manners’ billmen. Shrinking to the back of his unit, he couldn’t clearly see which side was winning, though each scream from a fallen man made him shudder within his armour. He hoped his men were too distracted to notice his absence in the melee.
(https://i.ibb.co/7zB9k06/IMG-1976.jpg) (https://ibb.co/W37TVRY)
While Sir Thomas’ cowardice was on full display, the Vernon archers were proving their bravery as they rushed into the melee before them in order to prevent their leader from being attacked by the Manners’ billmen. They added some much-needed pressure that seemed as though it could tip the balance of the fight, possibly the entire battle if it allowed both Vernon units rushed toward the hill.
(https://i.ibb.co/yBrCzt3/IMG-1977.jpg) (https://ibb.co/3Ynbx2J)
Ralph Manners’ nightmare came true. Instead of charging into Edward’s men at arms, Sir Richard Vernon had his men rush onto the hill, storming straight for Ralph’s men. With horrifying ease, Sir Richard slew Ralph’s standard bearer, sending the man to his knees with blood pouring from beneath his gorget. Sir Richard then turned his attention to Ralph, who backed away under the intense pressure and speed of Richard’s sword strokes.
(https://i.ibb.co/NSyLwYD/IMG-1979.jpg) (https://ibb.co/nCLDhkd)
Suddenly free from Sir Richard, Edward Manners turned his attention to the older Vernon brother. Seeing him cowering behind his own men, Edward was certain that Thomas Vernon would be easy pickings. Turning briefly to see how his brother was faring, and feeling quite disheartened at what he saw, Edward saw the possibility to end the battle in an instant if he could get to Sir Thomas in time.
Just as Edward was closing upon Sir Thomas’ men at arms, a sickening cry rang out among the Manners soldiers. Sir Ralph had fallen, the battle was lost! The men around Ralph scattered or were cut down, though Edward was sure he had seen two of the Manners retainers dragging his brother with them. Perhaps it was just wishful thinking. Either way, Edward knew he needed to escape and so, without time to think of the safety of his men, he fled toward Rowsley village, away from the battle.
-
Part 5 - Epilogue
Ralph Manners coughed weakly, his sides burning each time he did so. It had been three days since the battle for Rowsley hill but only one since he had awoken in Haddon Hall. He knew he should feel lucky to be alive, but he wouldn’t be truly grateful until he managed to come up against the treacherous Sir George Cook in battle and exact his revenge.
Edward sat with him while he recovered, having acquired a horse in Rowsley village and then made his way to the Haddon Estate by nightfall. A large number of the men who had served them in the battle had been slain during the rout, but many of those who had survived had returned to them, trickling into their lands in groups of two or three at a time. They were still severely under-manned, but they now had enough of a garrison to hold the hall against an attack if one came.
***
Sir Thomas Vernon felt slightly ashamed of himself when his men called him a hero, saying how they saw him turn to face Edward Manners’ men even though he was hopelessly outnumbered. They didn’t know he had frozen when he saw the threat to his person, that he would have traded all of their lives just to be away from there, that he was about to run for his life. They wouldn’t find out either, thanks to Ralph Manners’ timely demise. The lack of a body to display was disheartening however, and the idea floated by his brother Richard to dress the corpse of Henry Bennett as Manners wouldn’t do either. Ralph was dead, his brother Richard had assured him, and that was all he needed. He would march on Haddon Hall soon, and before he could get there Edward Manners would come out and meet him, the hot-headed fool. That would be an easy victory, perhaps one in which he wouldn’t have to personally fight or command. Then he would have his prize, and perhaps his family would stop expecting him to risk his life for their possible financial gain.
***
Not far away, Sir William Cavendish had heard of the Vernon victory over the Manners family. Though he did not much care for their petty squabbles, he was very interested in the treachery of Sir George Cook. Sir William and Sir George had long been bitter rivals when attempting to impress the newly crowned King Edward IV after Towton. Now that the Manners family would be forced to exact their revenge upon Sir George, it was the perfect time for Sir William to aid them in their quest. He sent a letter expressing his interest in assisting with the capture, or death, of Sir George but he felt the need to impress upon the Manners family that his support would end the moment that Sir George’s death was confirmed. He awaited their response eagerly.

The Ambush on Beeley Moor - 1462
Part 1 - The Ambush
Sir William Cavendish waited to catch his nemesis, Sir George Cook, alone and unawares.
(https://i.ibb.co/k5wffnq/IMG-1995.jpg) (https://ibb.co/WGMww9B)
Finally, days after the fighting on Rowsley hill, Sir George finished his celebrations with his new allies and began to move his forces north from Rowsley toward Beeley.
(https://i.ibb.co/Qv6vtD9/IMG-1996.jpg) (https://ibb.co/23j3HZq)
Along the road, Sir George came across what appeared to be a solitary unit of crossbowmen, hired by the Manners family to hold a small hill on the moorland outside of Beeley.
(https://i.ibb.co/6PDmSsG/IMG-1997.jpg) (https://ibb.co/xjzDb5w)
With his ego boosted from his recent victory, Sir George did not pause to check the forest to the south of the road as he marched his forces west toward the small outpost. Hiding within the forest was where Sir George’s greatest foe waited patiently to strike.
(https://i.ibb.co/ZdG2Pnf/IMG-1998.jpg) (https://ibb.co/TcYWSVw)
Suddenly, the cry of “Cavendish!” was heard coming from the forest to the south of the road. Cavendish’s men rushed toward Sir George’s forces.
(https://i.ibb.co/Gx7qh3T/IMG-1999.jpg) (https://ibb.co/qyBvZF5)
The Cavendish light horsemen crashed into the rear of a unit of billmen serving under Sir George, causing several casualties.
(https://i.ibb.co/GcHpWR3/IMG-2001.jpg) (https://ibb.co/LnNRx1h)
Before Sir George’s billmen could recover and put up a coordinated defence, the horsemen were gone, readying themselves for another charge.
Sir George’s panic-stricken forces hurried into position, the battle had begun.
-
Part 2 - The Battle
(https://i.ibb.co/MVsjRys/IMG-2002.jpg) (https://ibb.co/QNfq67f)
Sir George’s billmen hurried along the road, preparing to defend the hedgerows as Cavendish’s forces advanced toward them.
(https://i.ibb.co/7yPBC2D/IMG-2003.jpg) (https://ibb.co/Bsbv3qJ)
At the same time, Sir George’s archers clambered through the hedgerows to provide support to the infantry.
(https://i.ibb.co/C0VxMFn/IMG-2004.jpg) (https://ibb.co/YjfvyGt)
Sir George saw a chance to remove the greatest threat to the rear of his forces, the Cavendish light horse. He wheeled his unit of mounted men at arms around to face the Cavendish cavalry and rushed toward them.
(https://i.ibb.co/cgG2cXn/IMG-2005.jpg) (https://ibb.co/GxKCv3S)
The Cavendish pike moved to block Sir George and suddenly fell upon him, hoping to see a swift end to the fighting.
(https://i.ibb.co/py8Yjz8/IMG-2006.jpg) (https://ibb.co/gVpkZTp)
At the same time, Cavendish moved his billmen up to the hedgerow, defeating Sir George’s billmen and pushing them back.
(https://i.ibb.co/s28070n/IMG-2007.jpg) (https://ibb.co/hy3P0Pb)
Cavendish crossed the hedgerow and urged his men on, hacking mercilessly at his foe.
(https://i.ibb.co/gJ3Lprt/IMG-2009.jpg) (https://ibb.co/DQtHy1w)
Miraculously, Sir George survived the opening combat with the pikemen, turning his attention once more to the Cavendish light horsemen. The pikemen were not going to be easily defeated, however, and moved up to provide support to the light horsemen.
(https://i.ibb.co/6YH7kGG/IMG-2010.jpg) (https://ibb.co/cJ6SjRR)
Once again, Sir George showed his expertise in leading his cavalry, wheeling them around to threaten the rear of Cavendish’s own unit of billmen.
(https://i.ibb.co/FVSCZKJ/IMG-2011.jpg) (https://ibb.co/4d63v7M)
The archery duel had been a bloody affair, but due to Sir George’s archers and handgunners vastly outnumbering the Cavendish crossbowmen, it was always going to be a relatively one-sided affair.
(https://i.ibb.co/52fMFXX/IMG-2014.jpg) (https://ibb.co/kMWH1VV)
The Cavendish light horsemen crashed into a bewildered unit of Sir George’s billmen …
(https://i.ibb.co/YL09sq3/IMG-2016.jpg) (https://ibb.co/Vqwy4Pt)
… only to be completely outclassed in the combat, all but one of them falling in the vicious melee.
(https://i.ibb.co/vmbsLP1/IMG-2019.jpg) (https://ibb.co/ZK3Hc8d)
As he fled away from the billmen, the final Cavendish light horseman was shot down by a unit of Sir George’s archers.
(https://i.ibb.co/jhxcJhm/IMG-2015.jpg) (https://ibb.co/TcnVWc6)
Before Sir George’s unit of mounted men at arms could charge into the rear of Cavendish’s billmen, they were charged by the Cavendish pike and cut down.
(https://i.ibb.co/SNS1mYh/IMG-2017.jpg) (https://ibb.co/7vhTpMw)
Surrounded, terrified and alone. Sir George was dragged from his mount and slain. His treachery in the previous battle now paid for with his life. A cheer went up in the Cavendish ranks as Sir George’s forces routed. “Let them run!” Sir William Cavendish shouted to his men, “The score is settled.”
* * *
The next day, a messenger brought the head of Sir George to Sir Ralph Manners. The gruesome trophy brought him a small amount of joy, though he found it disturbing to look on the deceased face of his old ally. He had Sir George’s head, along with his body, sent to his family to allow him a proper burial.

Explanation of Narrative Gameplay
Here are some examples of where the game mechanisms have added to the narrative of these battle reports:
(https://i.ibb.co/x5cs1sm/IMG-1956.jpg) (https://ibb.co/cTpv6vb)
First of all, cannon malfunction on the roll of a double (see the rules for a deeper explanation on cannons). The roll was a double 6, meaning that the cannon exploded, causing hits to nearby units. Cannon can be quite deadly so this was a major drawback for the attacking forces so early in the battle.
(https://i.ibb.co/0Btcz1S/IMG-1970.jpg) (https://ibb.co/rbsmXqS)
Treachery is a random event that can be caused by a drawn initiative roll at the start of the turn. It forces one of the players to roll for each of their nobles, one of which may leave the battle. This caused the mounted men at arms, who were in a position to possibly tip the balance of the battle, to leave the field. This also gave the narrative of Sir George Cook becoming an enemy of the army he had been fighting alongside.
(https://i.ibb.co/9gWJD0M/IMG-1975.jpg) (https://ibb.co/zxZ1Mgk)
The cowardly leader in the attacking army (seen here wearing in his gold sallet) was caused by the random army leader special rules. As he is a cowardly army leader, he will avoid fighting in combat if possible. There are benefits and drawbacks to putting your army leader / nobles / standard bearers in harms way, as they can be very effective when they fight in the combat, but only the models that are in base contact with the enemy can be removed in the combat.
Also, the distrusted nobles in the first battle report are another of the special rules available to characters in this system, though the effect of this is slightly less game-changing than having a cowardly army leader.
The players can choose to roleplay some of these special rules, such as the cowardly army leader in the first battle report keeping his own unit away from the melee until absolutely necessary. I would recommend doing this as it adds to the overall narrative of the game, and relates to the personality of the characters.
(https://i.ibb.co/yBrCzt3/IMG-1977.jpg) (https://ibb.co/3Ynbx2J)
The threat caused by the nobleman who charged the defending army’s leader was due to his “duellist” special rule. This causes him to roll 3 dice in the combat, rather than 2, and any rolls of 6 may be allocated to any model in the target unit. This allowed him to cut down the enemy standard bearer (he also put one on the army leader but he made his armour save roll), before choosing to put hits on the defending army leader each turn. Eventually, this is what caused the defending army leader to be cut down, which immediately caused the attacking army to be victorious.
The attacking army leader was also under threat in combat, though due to the attacking army having initiative for that turn, they could determine the order the combats took place. Therefore, the defending army leader was slain before the players had the chance to make the combat roll for the melee containing attacking army leader. The moment that one of the army leaders is slain, the battle is over.

Thank you for these sumptuous AAR's, really enjoyed the whole thing. I wouldn't mind trying something similar with Pastons and their enemies in Norfolk at roughly the same time. Lots of little private wars and score settling going on then.

Thanks very much! :)
I have only been using a real-life locations for these battles, but the characters fighting within them are fictional.
Nothing to stop you fighting out some of the real-life battles and local conflicts using the rules though! I'd love to see what you come up with :D

Some of the changes that have been made:
- Army Morale is a new (and more likely!) way to win battles
- Cannon/Ribauldequin are less likely to be removed from the battlefield for malfunctioning
- Campaign systems have been added
- 12 Scenarios have been added
-
Are these rules still available? The website is set to private so the link does not work.
I am putting the finishing touches to a 15mm WOTR collection that has outgrown it's intended Lion Rampant use and am looking for game options before I sell them on.
