History of the Post: Quote:1485 - War of the Roses: Battle of Bosworth Field: House of Lancaster led by Henry Tudor defeats King Richard III and the House of York. 1485 - Battle of Bosworth Field: Wyllyam Gardynyr killed King Richard III with a poleaxe. Richard's helmet was driven into his skull. 1485 - Battle of Bosworth Field: following the battle Henry Tudor knighted Wyllyam Gardynyr. 1485 - Battle of Bosworth Field is significant for several reasons: 1st: the death of Richard III ended the Plantagenet dynasty. 2nd: Henry Tudor is made King Henry VII, marking the beginning of the Tudor Dynasty. 3rd: Richard III was the last King of England to die on the battlefield. 4th: the death of Richard III is considered the end of the medieval era.
