Richard III of England

Richard, then Duke of Gloucester, commanded the vanguard of Edward IV's army at Tewkesbury, defeating the Lancastrian forces. This victory led to the death of Edward of Westminster, Henry VI's son, and the end of the Lancastrian line.

Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, led a rebellion against Richard III, aiming to place Henry Tudor on the throne. The rebellion failed, and Buckingham was executed, but it demonstrated significant opposition to Richard's rule.

Richard III was crowned king of England after Parliament declared Edward V illegitimate. His accession followed the imprisonment of the Princes in the Tower and was controversial, leading to accusations of usurpation and murder.

Richard III was killed in battle against Henry Tudor's forces at Bosworth Field. His death ended the Plantagenet dynasty and the Wars of the Roses, allowing Henry Tudor to become King Henry VII.
