As in the play Macbeth, which it strongly resembles, the tyrant king is overthrown by an invader who then assumes the throne. Richard meets the invader Richmond at Bosworth Field, gets unhorsed, says his immortal line "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!", fights Richmond toe-to-toe at first onstage then off. Richmond returns alone, saying "The day is ours, the bloody dog is dead."
