Despite the nominal reconciliation of Warwick and the king, by March 1470 Warwick found himself in a similar position to that which he had been in before the battle of Edgcote. He was unable to exercise any control over, or influence, Edward's policies. Warwick wanted to place another of the king's brothers, <a href="/wiki/George,_Duke_of_Clarence" class="mw-redirect" title="George, Duke of Clarence">George, Duke of Clarence</a>, on the throne so that he could regain his influence. To do so, he called on former supporters of the defeated <a href="/wiki/House_of_Lancaster" title="House of Lancaster">House of Lancaster</a>. </p><p>The rebellion was initiated in 1470 by <a href="/wiki/Robert_Welles,_8th_Baron_Willoughby_de_Eresby" title="Robert Welles, 8th Baron Willoughby de Eresby">Sir Robert Welles</a>, son of <a href="/wiki/Richard_Welles,_7th_Baron_Welles" title="Richard Welles, 7th Baron Welles">Richard Welles, 7th Baron Welles</a>, a former Lancastrian, when his family fell foul of Edward. Sir Robert turned to Warwick for help. Warwick judged the time was ripe for another coup d'état, to kill Edward or remove him from the throne. </p><p>Welles started gathering troops at his base in <a href="/wiki/Lincolnshire" title="Lincolnshire">Lincolnshire</a>, ready for a show of arms against the king. The unrest in Lincolnshire prompted the king to act, and he started gathering men for his army on 4 March. The news of the king's intention to march to Lincolnshire quickly spread panic among people there. Due to Welles' deliberate misinterpretation, rumours were quickly spread that the king was coming to try the previously pardoned rebels from Edgcote, and that he would "hang and draw a great number" of them. </p><p>With the encouragement of Warwick and Clarence, Welles set himself up as a "great captain" of the people of Lincolnshire. On 4 March summons were sent to all the surrounding estates requesting every able man to join him in resisting the king. On the 7th the king heard that the rebels were marching towards <a href="/wiki/Stamford,_Lincolnshire" title="Stamford, Lincolnshire">Stamford</a> with an army of 100,000 men, having recruited many men from nearby counties, especially from Yorkshire. </p><p>The king later received letters from Clarence and Warwick stating they were marching North with all their men to support the king. The king then unsuspectingly issued commissions of array which included Warwick's name, authorising him to raise his own army of professional soldiers. Edward then received news that the rebels had changed course for <a href="/wiki/Leicester" title="Leicester">Leicester</a>, as had Warwick and Clarence, which revealed their intentions. </p><p>Welles received a letter from the King telling him to disband his rebel army, or his father Lord Welles (previously taken prisoner by Edward) would be executed. Welles quickly turned back with his army to Stamford. Edward's confidence grew when Welles failed to rendezvous with Warwick and his experienced forces.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Battle">Battle</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Losecoat_Field&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Battle"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Edward's scouts informed him that the rebel army was some five miles (8 km) from Stamford, arrayed for battle beside the <a href="/wiki/Great_North_Road_(Great_Britain)" title="Great North Road (Great Britain)">Great North Road</a> to the north of <a href="/wiki/Tickencote" title="Tickencote">Tickencote</a> Warren near <a href="/wiki/Empingham" title="Empingham">Empingham</a> in Rutland. </p><p>Edward positioned his men in a battle line to the north of Welles' army, and then, in the space separating the two forces, had Lord Welles executed in sight of both armies. </p><p>This action set the rebels advancing with cries of <i>á Warwick</i> and <i>á Clarence</i>. A single barrage of cannonballs was fired and then Edward had his men charge towards the enemy. Before the leaders of this attack could even come to blows with the rebel front line the battle was over. The rebels broke and fled rather than face the king's highly trained men. </p><p>Both captains, Sir Robert Welles and his commander of foot Richard Warren were captured during the rout and were executed a week later on 19 March. Welles confessed his treason, and named Warwick and Clarence as the "partners and chief provokers" of the rebellion.<sup id="cite_ref-rob_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-rob-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Documents were also found proving the complicity of Warwick and Clarence, who were forced to flee the country.<sup id="cite_ref-rob_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-rob-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Name">Name</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Losecoat_Field&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Name"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>According to <a href="/wiki/Popular_etymology" class="mw-redirect" title="Popular etymology">popular etymology</a>, the name of the battle is explained in this way; many of Welles' men were wearing jackets displaying Warwick's and Clarence's livery, and when the rout began, not wanting to be caught wearing such identification, many discarded their garments. The battle was thus called "Lose-coat". This story does not appear to have any historical basis, being first recorded in the 19th century.<sup id="cite_ref-di_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-di-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Contemporary accounts refer to the battle site as "Hornfield" (<a href="/wiki/Horn,_Rutland" title="Horn, Rutland">Horn</a> was an adjacent parish), and do not use the name Losecoat or anything comparable.<sup id="cite_ref-di_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-di-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The name is probably derived from an <a href="/wiki/Old_English" title="Old English">Old English</a> phrase <i>hlose-cot</i> meaning "pigsty cottage".
