When Richard III succeeded his brother, Edward IV, in 1483, he found his throne threatened by the Lancastrian Henry Tudor, who was then exiled in France. Two years later, Henry landed in Wales with a small force and on the 22nd August 1485, he confronted the Royal army near Market Bosworth in Leicestershire.


Graham Turner's painting shows the King's vanguard, led by the Duke of Norfolk, engaging the main body of Henry Tudor's army, commanded by the Earl of Oxford.
