Description
Bosworth 1485: A Battlefield Rediscovered is a fascinating exploration of one of England's most iconic battles. The site of the 22 August 1485 clash between the armies of Henry Tudor and Richard III, Bosworth stands alongside Naseby and Hastings as one of the three most famous battles ever fought on English soil. However, its significance has been overshadowed by its status as a lost battlefield. A major research program, spanning from 2005 to 2010, used innovative techniques such as landscape archaeology, metal detecting survey, ballistics, and scientific analysis to locate the site and uncover new evidence about the battle. This book brings together the findings of this research, providing a detailed and insightful look at the investigation. The result is a compelling new perspective on the event that marked the transition between medieval and early modern England.
