    Lol, picture properties says Battle of Moscow
    when the union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run,
    there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun,
    yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?
    but the union makes us strong.

    Indeed. Although judging from the composition and the attitude of the fighters, i think it's the second battle, wich ended with the fall of the city.

    Edit

    I can't rep you for the moment.

    I could barely see it with all the smileys all over the picture () but that is most certainly a battle between two English lords. Their armor is gothic, so I would estimate the picture to be of the 15th to 16th centuries in England. Considering the War of the Roses was during this time period, I would speculate that the battle is a part of said conflict (as the War of the Roses is a well known period of English history). All considering, this is most likely a depiction of the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 near Ambion Hill. If not the Battle of Bosworth, then perhaps the Battle of Barnet?

    Darn it, you are to fast for me Ancient.

    The flag on the right looks a lot like the Dragon of Wales which very much points to Bosworth (Henry Tudor).

    And indeed after searching for pictures of Bosworth, I found this (the picture was obviously named by a moron though):

    Congrats, Ancient it seems you got this one!
