The battle of bosworth fields took place on 22 august 1485,it secured the english throne for henry VII, the returning exile, with french naval and military support henry landed at milford haven and then marched into england. Richard summoned help to fight henry but a lot of his supporters did not answer his call for help,like the earl of northumberland,or the stanleys, another famous family, who chose to fight against him.Richard was killed on the battlefield launching a desperate attack after most of his support had fled,he fought bravely and would not surrender. His body was stripped and slung across a horse and buried at an unknown site, his body was recently discovered buried under a car park in leicester, not far from the site of the battle!

The Battle of Bosworth was in 1485 and hardly a current event. I suggest you try the history section for an informative answer or google it

Battle took place on 22 August 1485. On one side Richard III on the other Henry Tudor. Both claimed the thrown by ancestral descent - however on Henry's side it was by double bastardy. His pushy mother Margaret Beaufort was married to Lord Stanley - a major commander in Richard's army and he changed sides at the last moment dropping Richard in the KAK and losing him the battle.

I have a History test in a few days and one part of it will be about the Battle Of Bosworth, I'm finding lots of information on the War of the Roses but not much on that particular battle. I've tried watching a few videos but I'm better at reading the information, so could someone please either give me some relative facts (I'm in Year 8 UK) or a source on just that Battle. NOT WIKIPEDIA. Thanks x
