Fought on the 22nd August 1485, the Battle of Bosworth ended the Wars of the Roses: Richard III and the House of York were defeated and Henry Tudor became king, beginning a new ruling dynasty. This classic account of the battle was written by William Hutton, a Birmingham antiquarian and bookseller and first published in 1788. This edition contains a new introduction to William Hutton and celebrates 25 years of Alan Sutton in history publishing.
