HS053 - Battle of Bosworth Field: A Crown in the Bush, Worth Two in the Hand (Auto Unity Labs)
from History Squirt · host Ron Thompson
In this episode of History Squirt, we dive into the Battle of Bosworth Field — the chaotic 1485 showdown that ended the Wars of the Roses with a bang (and a crown in a bush). King Richard III charges headlong into Henry Tudor's outnumbered forces, only for the Stanleys to flip sides at the last second, leading to Richard's dramatic death on the field and the rise of the Tudor dynasty. Marshy ground, betrayal, medieval cavalry drama, and the last Plantagenet king biting the dust. It's English history's ultimate plot twist.
