Bosworth Field saw the two great dynasties of the day clash on the
battlefield: the reigning House of York, led by Richard III, against the
rising House of Tudor, led by Henry Tudor, soon to become Henry VII.
On 22 August 1485 this penultimate battle in the Wars of the Roses was
fought, with the might of the Yorkists ranged against Henry Tudor's
small army. In Bosworth 1485, historian Mike Ingram describes how they
came to meet on the battlefield and how the tactics employed by Henry
Tudor and his captains eventually led to the larger force's defeat and
the death of King Richard III.
Illustrated throughout and supplemented with maps and accessible
timelines, this book explores the unfolding action and puts the reader
on the front line of this crucial battle.
