Edward of March — barely eighteen — won his first independent battle, turning a strange atmospheric phenomenon (three suns appearing in the sky, a parhelion) into a morale-boosting omen of divine favour. The "sun in splendour" became the Yorkist symbol. Owen Tudor — grandfather of the future Henry VII — was captured and beheaded at Hereford, reportedly not believing it would happen until the collar of his red doublet was ripped off.
Owen Tudor executed; Welsh force largely destroyed
