War of the Roses - 1455

This open farmland area was used for communal grazing and farming. The Weald was largely agricultural, and communal lands like these were essential to village life. Local lords may have controlled the commons, extracting rents or forcing the commoners to support one side in the conflict. This area would be essential for sustaining the local population, providing food, and could become a contested resource in times of war.

Vast stretches of golden wheat swaying in the gentle breeze, dotted with grazing sheep and distant figures of farmers tending to their crops under a radiant sun, with an emerald-hued forest bordering the fields and a small stream meandering through the landscape.
