A Lancastrian force under Lord Audley attempted to intercept a Yorkist column led by Lord Salisbury (father of the Earl of Warwick) marching to join Richard, Duke of York. Audley's cavalry charged across marshy ground repeatedly and were shredded by Yorkist archery. Audley was killed during the fighting and the Lancastrians scattered.
