Henry VII defeated Richard III at Bosworth. This was the last of the many civil wars/civil battles which collectively were known as the War of the Roses in England in the 15th century.
That wasn't Henry VIII. It was his father Henry Tudor (Henry VII), who defeated the last Plantagenet King, Richard III, so ending the Wars of the Roses.
Battle of Spurs
Many people believe that the Wars of the Roses ended with the Battle of Bosworth, won by Henry VII against Richard III in 1485, although this is not true, as the Lambert Simnel rebellion caused Henry VII to fight one more battle, the Battle of Stoke on June 4th 1487. Although this was the last battle in the Wars of the Roses, Henry VII still faced many threats from Yorkist claimants who still wanted the throne, which means that many historian believe the Wars of the Roses did not truly end until the acession of Henry's son, Henry VIII.
The Yorkish King Richard wasn't very popular so people looked for distant relatives with a claim to the throne(Richard had murdered all the best candidates). A relatively unknown Welshman called Henry Tudor had a decent claim. He fought from Lancaster and defeated King Richard (Not the Lion-heart one) to become King Henry VII.
He defeated the king, Richard III, at the battle of Bosworth field. Henry belonged to the house of Lancaster and Richard to the house of York. Both houses were descendants of Edward III, so they both had claims to the throne. When Henry became king he married Elizabeth of York (Richard's niece) in order to unite the two houses and end the battle between them.
No. The Wars of the Roses was a fight between the Lancaster & York claimants to the English throne. The succession of the crown at this time is very confused. Principally it involves the reign of Henrys IV V & VI, Edward IV &V & Richard III. In 1485 Henry VII wins the battle of Bosworth defeating Richard III.

Richard III - for the throne of England. He won.
He didn't fight at Trention nor any battle. He was a Quaker, member of congess, governor of Va, and died in 1799.
Anger and he was willing to fight or battle Great Britain for this act.
