Abstract The confrontation outside London (7 February 1554) between the rebel army of Sir Thomas Wyatt and forces loyal to Queen Mary Tudor has been frequently characterized as a bloodless contest of will rather than a military conflict. This view, however, fails to account for the action’s wider significance in the study of Tudor warfare, a field arguably distorted by the limited number of battles fought within the sixteenth-century British Isles. Furthermore, the encounter is unusually well-documented by written narratives, while its location ensures that the battlefield is depicted on several near-contemporary and subsequent maps, providing opportunities for more detailed investigation through terrain reconstruction. This article will use methodologies of map regression to define the historic landscape of the battle, permitting tactical-level consideration of the engagement and helping to discern the site’s archaeological potential. By doing so, it will also facilitate a reassessment of the battle’s key events and implications.

伦敦之战（1554）——重建文艺复兴时期的战场

摘要 伦敦郊外（1554 年 2 月 7 日）托马斯·怀亚特爵士 (Sir Thomas Wyatt) 的反叛军队与效忠于玛丽·都铎王后 (Queen Mary Tudor) 的军队之间的对抗经常被描述为不流血的意志较量，而非军事冲突。然而，这种观点未能解释这一行动在都铎战争研究中的更广泛意义，这一领域可以说被 16 世纪不列颠群岛内有限的战斗数量所扭曲。此外，这次遭遇被书面叙述异常详细地记录下来，而它的位置确保了战场在几张近现代和后续地图上的描绘，为通过地形重建进行更详细的调查提供了机会。本文将使用地图回归的方法来定义战斗的历史景观，允许对参与进行战术层面的考虑，并帮助识别该地点的考古潜力。通过这样做，它还将有助于重新评估战斗的关键事件和影响。
