The Battle of Bosworth Field and the beginning of the Tudor Dynasty - The Tudor Society
On this day in history, 22nd August 1485, the last Plantagenet king, Richard III, was killed when his Yorkist forces met those of Lancastrian Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth Field. Henry claimed the throne as Henry VII and went on to marry Richard's niece, Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward IV, thus uniting the royal houses of York and Lancaster. It was the start of a new dynasty of the throne of England: the Tudors.
