Lord Dacre, who died fighting for the
Lancastrians at Towton, England, in
1851, directed that If he were killed in
the battle his favorite war horse should
be buried in the same grave with him.
According to his wishes, when his in
terment took place In Saxon church
yard after the battle a tremendous
grave was dug, and in 1t the warrior
was buried, seated upright on his
horse. For centuries reflections were
cast upon the accuracy of this tradi-
ton, but few years ago while exca-
vations were being made close by the
reputed burial place of Lord Dacre the
pick of digger struck into a great
bone, and upon further search being
made the skull of a big horse was
brought to the surface. AS this was
found almost at the very spot under
which the body of Lord Dacre was
said to lie, it was accepted as confirma-
ton of the tradition, particularly as the
skull was found 10 be standing verti-
cally in the soil. The skull was re-
placed carefully in its original position
and the excavation filled up.
