"Bosworth is a site of national historic significance, being the location of one of the three most important battles fought on British soil. It is the site where the Battle of Bosworth took place in 1485, and infamous as the place where King Richard III lost his life and crown to Henry Tudor and thus where the Tudor dynasty was born. Shakespeare immortalised Richard III, a King betrayed, unhorsed, surrounded by his enemies and finally calling out “A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.” The War of The Roses consisted of a series of battles fought between 1454 and 1485 by two rival branches of a dynasty and for the control of the English throne. Each family has a rose as its emblem, white for the York family and red for the House of Lancaster. Between 1454 and 1471 the houses of Lancaster and York fought thirteen battles with the Yorkist Edward IV winning the eventual victory. Richard III was Edward’s youngest brother and succeeded him to the throne in 1483. In 1485 fourteen years after the last battle of the Wars of the Roses, Richard III rode into battle once more. lost his life and his throne to Henry Tudor in the corner of Leicestershire on the 22nd August 1485" Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre and Country Park website
