Henry VII took on Richard III to claim the English throne and end the Wars of the Roses, which had pitted the houses of Lancaster and York against each other. He believed he had a legitimate claim through his mother, Margaret Beaufort, and sought to unify the kingdom under his rule. Richard III's contentious reign and the perception of his illegitimacy made him a target for Henry's ambitions. Ultimately, Henry's victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 marked the end of Richard's rule and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty.
