The Lincolnshire rising of 1470, fomented by Warwick and Clarence, spread through the county with rebel forces gathering near Stamford and on Ermine Street. Edward IV marched north with unusual speed, and many rebels dispersed before confronting the royal army. The subsequent battle at Empingham (Losecoat Field) ended the rising decisively. Stamford\'s area served as a concentration point for the rebels but its citizens were ultimately unable or unwilling to resist the royal advance.
