For several years before the battle, the Duke of York had become increasingly opposed to the weak King Henry's court. After King Henry became his prisoner for the second time, he laid claim to the throne, but lacked sufficient support. Instead, in an agreement known as the Act of Accord, he accepted the title of Lord Protector and a promise that he or his heirs would succeed Henry. Margaret of Anjou and several prominent nobles were irreconcilably opposed to this accord, and massed their armies in the north. Richard of York marched north to deal with them, but found he was outnumbered.
For unknown reason,part of Lancastrian Army react very slow and cost long time to join the battlefield,so that Duke of York still have the last chance to victory---------CHARGE !
