- Henry Tudor defeats the Yorkist King, Richard III, at the battle of Bosworth Field on

an apparent bid to kill Henry and end the battle quickly). The Earl of Northumberland, leading
a large portion of Richard’s army also failed to commit his troops, who were perhaps affected
by a lack of loyalty to their monarch. The Duke of Norfolk led the third group of the royal army
and was slain during the battle. Henry’s men meanwhile were unified under the command of
