Battlefield Map: The Battle of Barnet 14
April 1471 (1st Stage)
First stage - early morning 14th April at 0500. The
armies are not properly aligned. If the Yorkist axis of attack was due
north but a few degrees east, the overlap of Oxford's or Hasting's
divisions and Gloucester's and Exeter's would have been increased. Oxford
did not wait; he attached Hastings and drove him in a rout from the field.
He pressed at least as far as Barnet.
