Cause of Death:<CAUS> killed by King Henry VII at Bosworth
According to the Encyclopaedia Britannic (www.britannica.com), Battle of
Bosworth Field (August 22, 1485):
"...battle in the English Wars of the Roses, fough 12 miles (19km) west
of Leicester and 3 miles (5 km) south of Market Bosworth, between the
forces of the Yorkist King Richard III and the Lancastrian contender for
the crown, Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII). It was in effect the last
battle of the wars, and it established the Tudor dynasty on the English
throne. Henry, returning from exile, landed at Milford Haven (August 7)
and marched toward Richard at Leicester. Early on August 22 Richard's
army reached a superior position on Ambien Hill. Richard's ally, John
Howard, Duke of Norfolk, was killed in the initial skirmish. Though
called to the area by the king, Thomas, Lord Stanley (later 1st Earl of
Derby), and Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, failed to assist the
Yorkists in battle. When Richard moved against Henry Tudor, Sir William
Stanley, brother of Lord Stanley who had privately pledged support for
Henry, attacked Richard's flank. The Yorkist army melted away, while
Richard, preferring death, was unhorsed and killed in the bog."
His famous saying: "A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!"
