One hech of an opening. You guys just keep getting better.
demonic
Honestly, Richard III’s decision to attack Henry with a small force made no sense. He should have used the center of his army to help the wing that was already engaged in battle. Richard III was brave, but he was clearly a tyrant (even for medieval standards) and would have continued to alienate people with his constant executions.
great stuff as always
Great video! What a tumultuous period in English history.⚔🔥👏
Not English here. Not joking at all when I say that the time I first learned of this battle was when I watched the first season of Blackadder.
Whatever your thoughts on Richard III are, I think we can all agree on one thing: the man did not lack for courage.
Interesting video.
Richard was in a difficult position as soon as Stanley stood by waiting to see who would win.
Too many concentrate on "bad" Richard III and overlook the faults that Henry Tudor brought to his reign. He systematically executed or imprisoned anyone with a claim to the throne ( see what he did to the de la Pole's). Set up The Star Chamber, an extortion system where you were guilty until proven innocent. He was the only English king to die with more money in the treasury at the end of his reign than at the start.
I wonder how different history would've been had Richard III retreated from Bosworth Field instead of fighting the the death. Great video.
So basically Richard sucked and all his guys had him impromptu killed in a hunting accident. "Gee, oops, silly me, forgot to engage my division." "Yeah, me too."
People say Richard III was quite ugly and hunchback and evil but I think he was quite handsome although definitely backstabbing
I like him.
I feel good that Richard fought so well😂
Very overlooked,even now,is that there is a significant Franco-Scottish contingent under Berault Stuart,3rd Seigneur d'Aubigny fighting with Henry Tudor at Bosworth.
Lord Stanley's position and behavior was brilliantly done and imo shows he had decided long before the battle to join Henry. To see it, first remove Stanley's forces from the battlefield altogether, Richard's army was so much bigger he could swing two of his battlions around and easily envelope Henry. Now put Stanley's forces back on the field but have him join Henry right away, again Richards army is so much bigger he could still easily envelope the Henry/Stanley combined army. So where could Stanley place his forces to keep Richard from enveloping Henry? Right where he did. If Richard tries to wheel his two battalions around on Henry then Stanley can hit them in the rear. Stanley plonked his small force in the perfect spot to keep two thirds of Richards army from closing in on Henry and his behavior confused Richard enough to make this take effect.
Richard III was married to Warwick's daughter Anne Neville. When Richard ascended the throne, he and Anne had the first joint English coronation in 175 years.
Duke of Norfolk,was killed by a Knight named John Savage.(nephew of Thomas and Willam Stanley) his brother Thomas Savage was Archbishop of York and Chaplain to Henry VII.
Thx for content @Historymarche ❤
The day before the Battle of Bosworth, Henry VII declared himself to be king by right of conquest and blood. This meant he could legally find anyone who fought for Richard guilty of treason, and used this excuse to seize the lands and estates of his opponents upon his victory, thus eliminating potential rebels and financing his take over.
Nothing worse than a traitor….

Hey! Why do you gotta bring my name into this 😡
Lol nah I kid. Great intro guys. That was an awesome way to start it. Brilliant storytelling 👍🏻
It is refreshing to see Richard III has another narrative than "horse .. horse, my kingdom for a horse"
So many battles were lost because of lack of strategy
Three kingdoms period in China should also be covered
Did I mishear or did you say Richard III was a descendant of John of Gaunt cause they werent
sacrifice to the algorithm
Too bad this piece echoes Shakespeare's depiction of Richard as a twisted psychotic monster, which was designed to impress Queen Liz, his patron and Henry Tudor the Usurper's granddaughter.
The Late Walder Frey from GoT was loosely based on Stanley. Treacherous snake. Oh and Richard the Lionheart never defeated Saladin. He only had one battle and yes he was victorious. After that he fell ill. So sick that Saladin himself sent his personal physicians to tend to King Richard. He recovered and sailed for home where he was famously captured and imprisoned by Duke Leopold of Austria. His mother, his nobles and the church kicked in to cover his "Kings Ransom"
Hearing about the manor in which Richard went down fighting- is inspiring, however evil a man or not he may have been- such incredible records of his and his retinue's last stand truly do show his true colors, consumed by wrathios and hatred for his enemy, he went down like a cornered lion, despite everything else.
Good job on the companions on delaying that order by the way, quite an incredible last stand.

I like the fact that the battle of bosworth and sekigahara were eerily similar with each other. Each were decided by the intervention of third parties on the battlefield and both have generals in the losing side who didn't commit their own troops in the battlefield.
Also both battles resulted in the establishment of a new dynasty (Tudor & Tokugawa) respectively and end of the major fighting in the civil wars for both countries (although sengoku Jidai would drag on until 1615 with the siege of Osaka)
