SIR ANDREW TROLLOP (d.1461) served in the French wars [q.v. Hundred Years' War], and on the outbreak
of the Wars of the Roses joined the Duke of York.
In 1459, after the battle of Blore Heath, the combined forces of York,
Salisbury, and Warwick assembled at
Ludford, close to Ludlow. Here they were confronted by the king [Henry VI], and
a battle was imminent, when Trollop deserted with a considerable body of men to Henry. His defection caused the Yorkists to retreat
in disorder.
Trollop commanded the van of the Lancastrians at the battle of Towton, where he was slain.
