    What was the last battle between armies fought in England?

    Question #47307. Asked by Baloo55th. (May 10 04 4:26 AM)


    Stew54

    		If we take "in England" to mean upon English soil I think it will be Sedgemoor (1685), but given a more general meaning and accepting the Luftwaffe as an army, it could extend to the battle of Britain (1940).

    		Land battles only, please. Sedgemoor was the answer given, but I was wondering about Derby in the '45...

    		I hadn't thought of that, Baloo. Sedgemoor is the usual answer (the equivalent "on British soil" being Culloden I think).

    I've had a bit of a google around and as far as I can tell there wasn't an actual battle as such at Derby, only an imminent threat of one. It was because the invaders didn't think they could win it when it came, and by then the route home to Scotland would be blocked for the survivors, that the decision to return seems to have been made.

    Can you tell me what movie this is from? I don't remember the scene too well, but it was a scene where there was a battle between the armies of good and evil. The battle was evenly matched and there were a lot of men being killed. The leaders of those armies then freeze the battle and decide they will only use influence in order to win the souls of earth. I think this scene might have been an explanation from another character as to how the beginning occurred, though I'm really sure.
