Please tell me as much as possible about the Battle of Bosworth!!?

The Battle of Bosworth Field was the penultimate battle in the Wars of the Roses, a civil war between the House of Lancaster and the House of York that raged across England in the 15th century.

Fought on 22 August 1485, the battle was won by Lancastrian Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, who by his victory and subsequent marriage to a Yorkist princess became the first English monarch of the Tudor dynasty.

His opponent Richard III, the last King of England from the House of York, was killed during the battle. Historians consider the battle to mark the end of the Plantagenet dynasty, making it one of the defining moments of English history.

Literature, from the 15th to 18th centuries, glamorized the conflict as a victory of good over evil—the battle forms the finale of William Shakespeare's play about Richard's rise and fall.

Charles I, (19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649), second son of James I, was King of England, Scotland and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution on 30 January 1649.

Charles famously engaged in a struggle for power with the Parliament of England. He was an advocate of the Divine Right of Kings, which was the belief that kings received their power from God.

This Divine Right of Kings could not be taken away (unlike the similar Mandate of Heaven), even if he was stripped of his power.

Many subjects of England feared that he was attempting to gain absolute power.

Many of his actions, particularly the levying of taxes without Parliament's consent, caused widespread opposition.

Religious conflicts permeated Charles' reign.

He married a Catholic princess, Henrietta Maria of France, over the objections of Parliament and public opinion.
