Notes - The Battle of Blore Heath took place on 23rd September 1459. It is considered by some historians to be the ‘real’ start of the Wars of the Roses. The battle followed a period in which Lancastrian and Yorkist factions had invested in arms and factions had grown stronger, and further apart than ever. With years of disagreements and lords gathering large military retinues, tension was high. Blore Heath saw that tension explode into war. A Yorkist force was intercepted and attacked by a larger force of Lancastrians led by Lord Audley.
Sir Thomas Dutton (1 August 1421 - 23 September 1459) was a medieval English knight. He was the son of Sir John Dutton and Margaret Savage.
His family owned an estate, Dutton Hall in Cheshire. The original building is now located in West Sussex, having been moved there in the 1930s; the building housed Stoke Brunswick School, at Ashurst Wood, south of East Grinstead.
Sir Thomas Dutton, his brother John and eldest son, Peter Dutton, and his father in law, Lord Audley died on 23 September 1459 at the Battle of Blore Heath, during the War of the Roses. Lord Audley was in command of approximately 10,000 troops defending the throne of King Henry VI.
Sir Thomas Dutton married Anne Touchet, daughter of James Touchet, 5th Baron Audley of Heighley Castle and Margaret De Ros.
