Battle of Sandwich (1460)
:''Not to be confused with the Battle of Sandwich (1217).''
The Battle of Sandwich was a naval skirmish off the town of Sandwich in January 1460 during the Wars of the Roses. In it, Sir John Denham and the Earl of Warwick, Captain of Calais, now on the Yorkist side, defeated a Lancastrian fleet and captured several of its ships. Little evidence and few details of the battle survive.
==Battle==
Edward, Earl of March and Richard, Earl of Salisbury, had fled to the English stronghold of Calais after their defeat at the Battle of Ludford Bridge.〔Michael K. Jones 'Edward IV, the Earl of Warwick and the Yorkist Claim to the Throne', in ''Historical Research'' 70: 173 (1997), (342–352 pp. 342-352 )〕
Sent ahead by Warwick, Sir John Denham found the king's fleet lying at Sandwich. Arriving at dawn, Denham launched an attack while the king's officers were still in bed.〔John Campbell, John Kent, ''Biographia Nautica'' (1785), p. 348〕 His success was so overwhelming that he "tooke the principall shippes of the Kynge's navie... well furnished with ordinaunce and artillarie".〔Richard Brooke, ''Visits to fields of battle, in England, of the fifteenth century'' (1857), p. 235〕
