10. Who fought in the Battle of Chesterfield
In 1266 baronial leaders – including Baldwin Wake, the Lord of Chesterfield, and Ferrers, the Earl of Derby – clashed with royalist forces led by Henry of Almain, nephew to Henry III. The royalists used wagons to gain entry to the town. A bloody battle ensued and the royalist forces eventually won. Photo: DEAN ATKINS
