It is early August 1460 and Henry VI's regime is on the ropes. Within five months, his army will suffer defeat at Wakefield. Within nine months, they will lose again at Towton and he will be dethroned.
Right at this moment, the maternally Lancastrian James II besieges Roxburgh Castle. James is killed in a tragic accident but his army is successful and his widow razes the castle to the ground.

Umm....regarding Wakefield as a defeat for Henry VI is a novel way of looking at things !
