Richard III. and the Earl of Richmond at the Battle of Bosworth, 1485, (mid 19th century)

Richard III. and the Earl of Richmond at the Battle of Bosworth, 1485, (mid 19th century). The Battle of Bosworth Field, fought on 22 August 1485, was the last significant battle of the Wars of the Roses, the civil war between the Houses of Lancaster and York that raged across England in the latter half of the 15th century. Richard III (1452-1485), the last king of the House of York, was killed in the battle, making the victor Henry Tudor (1457-1509), Earl of Richmond, the first English monarch (King Henry VII), of the Tudor dynasty.
