No, although Shakespreare has Henry Tudor kill Richard III personally in hand-to-hand combat on the Battlefield, this is not true; they never fought each other directly. Instead, Richard III was killed, most likely by an unknown, lowly Welshman fighting for Henry.

Does Richard III kill Lord Hastings?

In Shakespear's play, Richard III (or more specifically the Duke of Buckingham working for Richard) definitely arranges to Hastings death. As for real history, the general consensus appears to be that they both ordered it, but Hastings really, really deserved it because he was part of a conspiracy to overthrow Richard for Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII). But like a lot of things from this time, the actual record of event are very sketchy, and tainted by a lot of tradition and later propaganda. So the real answer is -- no-one can be sure.

Why did Henry Tudor invade wales and England?

Blame his mother Margaret Beaufort. Richard III was King at the time, as he inherited after his brother, Edward V, died. Edward had two sons who were to young, so Richard took the crown and sent his nephews to the tower - where they died. Meanwhile, England hated Richard, who was of the Plantagenet blood line and from York, and Henry VII, of the Tudor line and from Lancashire, was in exile in France. Margaret, meanwhile, organised the whole campaign and summoned her son back in time to kill Richard III and take the crown for himself.

Did Richard the Lionheart kill his father?

The legend is that the nose of Henry II's corpse bled in the presence of his son Richard, suggesting that he caused his father's death. Historically, Richard fought against his father on multiple occasions while Richard's older brother Henry (the Young King) was the nominal ruler of England (young Henry died in 1183). Although they apparently reconciled in 1174, Henry's plan to name his (younger) son John to the throne prompted Richard to join Philip II of France against Henry in 1189, forcing Henry to name Richard his heir. Two days after Henry did so, he died, leaving Richard as king.
