Best Answer

Henry Tudor (later to become Henry VII) won.

His opponent, Richard III, was a generally unpopular King, partly because he was thought to have murdered his nephews (the Princes in the Tower). This meant that he had little support from the nobility whereas Henry's mother (Margaret Beaufort) was able to get more support for her son.

However, both sides were quite evenly matched and it was only a combination of luck and of the powerful Stanley brothers joining on Henry's side that allowed him to win.
