August 22 - The Battle of Bosworth Field and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty

Today is the anniversary of the battle which started the Tudor period: the Battle of Bosworth Field. The Tudor dynasty on the throne of England began on this day, when Henry Tudor's forces beat those of King Richard III, and Richard was killed.
 
In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, explains what happened on that day in rural Leicestershire, and how Henry Tudor was victorious even though Richard III came into battle with a huge advantage.
