Richard III, the last king of the House of York, met his death at the Battle of Bosworth, fought on 22 August 1485 during the Wars of the Roses. His army faced the forces of Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond and claimant to the throne on behalf of the House of Lancaster. Although Richard commanded a larger force, the intervention of Sir William Stanley's troops on Tudor's side proved decisive. The king launched a daring cavalry charge against his opponents, but was surrounded and killed in the fighting. His death ended Plantagenet rule and allowed Henry Tudor to claim the crown as Henry VII, founding the Tudor dynasty. This TOY SOLDIER recalls the dramatic end of one of the most significant episodes in English medieval history.
