Source A: Account of the Battle of Bosworth

"The battle was fierce, with Henry Tudor’s forces emerging victorious after a day of brutal fighting. The Yorkists fought desperately, but Henry’s strategic positions and the arrival of his reinforcements turned the tide. Richard III was killed in the chaos, and Henry was crowned king shortly after. The victory at Bosworth marked the end of the Wars of the Roses and the beginning of Tudor rule. The battlefield was littered with the fallen, and the air was thick with the sounds of clashing swords and cries of battle. Henry’s soldiers believed they had secured a new era of stability for England, though some questioned the legitimacy of his claim to the throne."* Provenance: Anonymous eyewitness, 1485, contemporary account of the Battle of Bosworth.
