Battle of Stoke Field
June 16, 1487
Henry VII defeated a Yorkist rising that marched behind Lambert Simnel, a baker's son impersonating the Earl of Warwick. The last battle of the Wars of the Roses ended in a mass killing of Irish kerns and German mercenaries. Simnel, pardoned, spent the rest of his life as a royal kitchen servant.
