The siege of Alnwick Castle in 1461–1462 was a crucial Yorkist victory during the Wars of the Roses, establishing their control over the strategically vital Northumberland region and securing the Anglo-Scottish border for the Yorkist cause. The castle's fall to Warwick's forces demonstrated Yorkist military superiority and consolidated Edward IV's hold on northern England, effectively ending Lancastrian resistance in the north and preventing Scottish intervention on behalf of Henry VI.
