It was the culmination of a family squabble between the descendants of Edward III, over the Crown of England. Happily for the country, Henry Tudor won a decisive victory, became King (although his lineage was debatable), and set about to secure his position with some skillful political manoeuvring and marriage to quell any opposition. the result was an end to a hundred years instability for the nation.

The Battle of Bosworth Field took place on August 22, 1485 between the armies of King Richard III (Yorkist) against Henry Tudor (Lancastrian).

King Richard III was killed in the battle, the Lancastrian army was victorious and Henry Tudor was crowned King Henry VII.

This marked the beginning of the Tudor dynasty whose most notable monarchs were King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I.
