🩸 BLOODIEST BATTLE ON ENGLISH SOIL

March 29, 1461 — On Palm Sunday, 28,000 warriors clashed in a snow-covered Yorkshire field. The Wars of the Roses reached its deadliest peak as Yorkist white roses fought Lancastrian red roses in brutal hand-to-hand combat. When the smoke cleared, nearly 30,000 lay dead or dying.

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.

The Tudor Lord with 9 Lives - John Scrope, 5th Baron Scrope of Bolton - The Tudor Society

On this day in history, 22nd July 1437 (or 1438), John Scrope, 5th Baron Scrope of Bolton, was born at Bolton Castle in Yorkshire. He was a man who'd back the losing side multiple times, but with his head intact. He fought at Towton with Edward IV, rebelled against him, supported Richard III, then Henry VII, then backed a royal pretender... yet he survived! He reall was like a cat with nine lives.
