ISBN: 9781605988597.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lively and authoritative reinterpretation of the Battle of Bosworth Field, where the Wars of the Roses ended and the Tudor dynasty began. On August 22, 1485, at Bosworth Field, Richard III fell, the Wars of the Roses ended, and the Tudor dynasty began. The clash is so significant because it marks the break between medieval and modern; yet how much do we really know about this historical landmark?\n\nMichael Jones uses archival discoveries to show that Richard IIIs defeat was by no means inevitable and was achieved only through extraordinary chance. He relocates the battle away from the site recognized for more than 500 years. With startling detail of Henry Tudors reliance on French mercenaries, plus a new account of the battle itself, the author turns Shakespeare on its head, painting an entirely fresh picture of the dramatic life and death of Richard III, Englands most infamous monarch.\n8 pages of B\u0026amp;W illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pegasus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44953695944757,"sku":"ByrdShop_1605988596","price":28.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781605988597_47a3ac53-6331-423b-a868-a7deb1dd6db3.jpg?v=1778688282","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bosworth-1485-the-battle-that-transformed-england-9781605988597","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
