The preliminary skirmish before Towton. Lord Fauconberg crossed at Ferrybridge to reconnoitre; Lancastrians under Lord Clifford destroyed the bridge and cut up the Yorkist vanguard. Warwick was wounded. Edward IV ordered a flanking movement at Castleford — Clifford was caught the next day at Dintingdale and killed by an arrow to the throat after removing his gorget. The bridge was repaired and the Yorkist army crossed for Towton.
