Summary: "On Some Ancient Battle-Fields in Lancashire" by Charles Hardwick is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the historical and legendary battles that took place in the Lancashire region, focusing on the intersection of fact and myth associated with these sites. It emphasizes the importance of local narratives and folklore in understanding the cultural heritage tied to these battlefields. The opening of the book establishes its framework by discussing the general theme of historical writings and how they often prioritize grand narratives over local detail. Hardwick introduces the premise that while historians may overlook the precise locations of battles, these details are crucial for local scholars. He notes the intertwining of history with legend, highlighting how the narratives from figures like King Arthur and battles referenced by early historians, such as Gildas and Geoffrey of Monmouth, continue to shape our understanding of the past. Through this introduction, Hardwick sets the stage for a deeper exploration of specific battles in Lancashire, arguing for the significance of both historical truth and the subjective truths embedded in local myths.
