from
Wikipedia
Somerset's battle was routed, and tried to escape across the Severn.
Most were cut down as they fled.
The long meadow astride the Colnbrook leading down to the river is known to this day as " Bloody Meadow ".
Somerset galloped up to Wenlock, commanding the centre, and demanded to know why Wenlock had failed to support him.
According to legend ( recounted in Edward Hall's chronicle, written several years afterwards though from first-hand accounts ), he did not wait for an answer but dashed out Wenlock's brains with a battleaxe before seeking sanctuary in the Abbey.
