1470 — Battle of Losecoat Field
The Battle of Losecoat Field (also known as the Battle of Empingham) was fought on 12 March 1470, during the Wars of the Roses. Spellings of "Losecoat" vary, with "Losecote" and "Loose-coat" also seen. The battle secured the defeat of the poorly organised Welles Uprising against King Edward IV, but ultimately led to the defection of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick and the king's brother George, Duke of Clarence to the Lancastrian cause after they were forced to flee the country having been implicated in the rebellion.

1930 — Gandhi sets out on the Salt March
Mohandas Gandhi left Sabarmati Ashram with a group of supporters to march toward the coastal village of Dandi. Their purpose was to challenge the British colonial monopoly and tax on salt through nonviolent civil disobedience. The march covered roughly 240 miles and drew growing public attention as Gandhi passed through villages in Gujarat. He would break the salt law on reaching the coast in April, encouraging similar actions elsewhere. The campaign connected a basic everyday commodity with the broader demand for Indian self-government. March 12 marks the beginning of the journey, rather than the later act of collecting salt at Dandi.
