The Wars of the Roses Part Six: The Battle of Bosworth Field
On 22 August 1485 Henry Tudor met Richard III at Bosworth Field. In a strange battle, Henry’s smaller force eventually overcame Richard’s army. The Wars of the Roses were all but over after thirty years of murder, warfare and political machinations.
In this final episode of our 6 part special, Derek Birks, author of The Guide to the Wars of the Roses and David Pilling author of Kingbreaker, join to discuss the battle, the factions involved, Henry Tudor and Richard III.
