The Battle of Bosworth 1485: A New Interpretation The Battle of Bosworth, fought in 1485, was a pivotal moment in English history, marking the culmination of the dynastic struggle between the houses of York and Lancaster. This new study, based on a groundbreaking reinterpretation of events, sheds new light on the battle and its aftermath. The battle was sparked by the early death of Edward IV, followed by the reign of his brother Richard III, who faced numerous threats from both within and outside his own faction. Henry Tudor, a Lancastrian claimant, seized the opportunity to challenge Richard's rule, leading to a series of events that would ultimately determine the course of English history. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the battle, its commanders, and its forces, drawing on the latest research and discoveries. The discovery of Richard III's remains in Leicester has also shed new light on the battle, allowing historians to re-examine the events surrounding his death. This book brings together the latest scholarship and research, offering a fresh and authoritative account of one of the most significant events in English history.
