; Bosworth Field: Betrayal on the Battlefield - Following the death of Edward IV in 1483, the king's brother seized power by throwing Edward's teenage son in prison and crowning himself Richard III. Many Englishmen blamed their new king for the boy's subsequent death, sowing the seeds of mistrust that would lead to a devastating battlefield betrayal two years later.

The Wars of the Roses--the dispute between the houses of York and Lancaster for control of the English throne--had been raging for 30 years by the time Henry Tudor challenged the Yorkist king Richard III in the summer of 1485. The odds seemed to be against Tudor and his force of 6,000: He had little military experience compared with the king, and when the two sides met near the village of Market Bosworth on August 22, Richard had the better position and an army twice the size of Tudor's. The king had lined 10,000 men along the top of a hill and another 4,000 men under the command of Sir William Stanley and his brother, Lord Thomas Stanley, on his flank.

What Richard didn't know was that the Stanleys secretly had pledged their support to Tudor before the battle. After an initial exchange of archery and artillery fire, the two sides' infantries engaged in close combat. Richard then ordered the Stanleys' troops to join his own and end the Lancaster threat, but not only did Lord Thomas refuse to engage, Sir William actually attacked Richard's flank. As the Yorkist army quickly began to break ranks, the desperate king charged straight at Tudor, killing his rival's bodyguard before being unhorsed and killed. (Shakespeare depicted the fallen king crying out, "My kingdom for a horse!")

At the coronation following the battle of Bosworth Field, Sir William Stanley placed the crown of England on Henry Tudor, who became Henry VII. The dynasty he founded would rule for 118 years.¹²
