The Battle of Bosworth or Bosworth Field (/ˈbɒzwərθ/ BOZ-wərth) was the last significant battle of the Wars of the Roses, the civil war between the houses of Lancaster and York that extended across England in the latter half of the 15th century. Fought on 22 August 1485, the battle was won by an alliance of Lancastrians and disaffected Yorkists. Their leader Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, became the first English monarch of the Tudor dynasty by his victory and subsequent marriage to a Yorkist princess. His opponent Richard III, the last king of the House of York, was killed during the battle, the last English monarch to die in combat. Historians consider Bosworth Field to mark the end of the Plantagenet dynasty, making it one of the defining moments of English history.

Apart from Liking, commenting and subscribing of course!
After 2.5 months of work Bosworth is finally here!
I'm very excited and anxious about your opinion of the video.
The story of Richard the III is a proper Shakespearean tragedy.
While making the video I become quite familiar with the story and I'm so curious to hear your opinion about the events covered here.
Was Richard a hero or a Villain?
Did he kill his nephews or sent them into quiet exile?
Please let me know in the comment section.
The disloyalty of the nobles really cost Richard this battle
Treachery is the common end for all causes.
Clearly the nobles wanted a weaker more cowardly king.
And was not He treacherous in the first place? You'll be talking about honour amongst thieves next.
@@alphalunamare
Nope, it’s a simple equation. One man asked no one to do what he would not do himself, the other expected others to die for him without any risk to himself.
Two very very different kinds of manliness.
@@johnootot Interesting but not borne out by anything in this presentation. Did or did not Richard usurp the throne?
I dont understand how these aren't getting more views, amazing stuff
Thank you very much, I really appreciated it!
I'm also worried about this one.
Most of the previous videos performed quite well, but this one is yet to picked up by the algorithm for some reason.
I still hope that within a few days or weeks, it will be picked up and distributed accordingly.
Otherwise I might re-upload it with different Voice Over just to test things around.
@historybattles3D i have to be honest the voice over is a little hard to understand at times. Everything else is fantastic though, love your work!
@@Fuckingusername
Ι mainly focused on being as clear as humanly possible.
So, this means that clarity is beyond my current capabilities.
I do think of uploading this again with a different VO though, since it didn't perform that well.
But thank you very much for the constructive feedback.
Great Vid. There was actually many prospect brides for Richard III. One of them was 'Blessed' Joanna of Portugal. Supposedly she had a dream of Richard's defeat at Bosworth the day before the battle.
Graphics are outstanding mate.. this needs more views
Thank you very much!
I still hope. The algorithm is quite slow promoting this one.
very nice. I spent 45 days in the UK driving around flying from California and went to Bosworth. England is so green and that is why I choose to live in the high Sierra's!
Richard was the last true chad king of England
Long live King Richard
Brilliant video, first time I’ve seen Bosworth portrayed in an easy to understand way, subscribed!
Thank you very much and welcome!
@bougeac The same with me. I've read books about battles of the Wars of the Roses and found their descriptions of the battles difficult to picture mentally (even when they had maps of battles).
I found this video very helpful in understanding how battles were fought in the Wars of the Roses.
These are great! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Thank you for all the hard work I know you put into your videos! It visibly explains to those of us who are “ visual learners”…. Legend has it that Henry’s stepfather , Lord Stanley’s decision to side with his major forces in loyalty to his stepson , Henry Tudor, made the tipping of the battle to his advantage. Also , as is often stated, Lord Stanley found Richard’s crown in some brush or bushes and that it was he who placed it on Henry’s head at the end of the battle. What an amazing time it must have been .
Thank you very much for the wonderful comment!
I think it's time for a Manzikert or perhaps a Dyrrachion. The battles of the ERE are full of wonders
ERE is definitely within my schedule.
Dyrrachion is actually a pretty good idea. Normans VS Byzantines sounds like a very interesting battle to animate.
Also rumoured that the chad lord Richard declared just before his fateful charge “today I die a king!”
@@jameshenderson5385 I’m guessing you’re struggling with the word “rumoured” huh?
Say what you will, but King Richard III fought and died like a true king, respect!
What made Henry VII think a traitor like Stanley would be loyal to him after he betrayed Richard III, Richard III was certainly brave and a warrior, too brave for his own good as it worked out.
Been waiting for this one! Thanks for your dedication and hard work!
Thank you very much for your kind words and for sticking around!
This animation pulls the history and the battle together in an excellent presentation. Well done.
Thank you very much, sir!
I`ve subscribed as that was one of the best animations and explanation of a Battle that I have seen= Really impressed.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I have a special liking for this video despite not being amongst the most successful on the channel.
It was certainly a labor of love. I even researched the specific armor types that would have been used by the English during that period and attempted to recreat them to the best of my abilities.
@@historybattles3D I look forward to enjoying your future videos. 🙂
Richard iii followed the orders of the King Edward V (his brother) by taking charge of England as lord protector.
However, the Woodvilles sought to have Richard removed, thus to maintain their own influence. King Richard had no choice but to act ruthlessly, because of the threats around him.
He was a true warrior in battle and for the most part a great king during his short reign.
Very interesting take.
But there is this pressing issue about his nephews and their ultimate fate.
I've heard many stories and I have to admit that I'm becoming suspicious about the official version of the story without any proof to back these suspicions, of course.
For eg, the supposed pretenders who said they were the princes but ultimately confessed they were not but only after they were captured by Henry Tudor.
There is so much drama and intrigue in this story.
Most surviving accounts of the disappearance of Richard III's nephews were written by either foreign visitors (e.g. Mancini) or associates of Henry VII and Henry VIII. The only published confession wasn't a transcript, but hearsay reported after the execution of the confessor in 1503, allegedly for helping sympathizers of Richard III's have sanctuary on the continent.
Is two years long enough to be considered great? Ruthless for sure.
@@KCohere33 In the two years he was king he made small but very significant changes. Notably funding education, which Henry Vii abolished and the first notions of legal aid came under Richard iii. There were many indications as King, Richard cared for the common person
Another awesome video !! Can't wait to see what's next !!
Still wondering how much time you spent making all of this. It is a wonderful work!
Thank you so much!
Well, this video took me 2.5 months...
I hope the algorithm won't be mad at me for such delay! haha
@@historybattles3Dim wondering whats your pc specs?
@@historybattles3D
Well, it was in my recommendations, so, it was kind to you this time
@@snoopyyy_23 Ι have a Rtx 3080
And an i7 8700
Regarding 18:53. Richard was actually killed by Sir Rhys App Thomas who was a rich Welshman that Henry knighted on the spot. Henry vii later appointed Rhys as Chamberlain to South Wales.
Well it isn’t really known. it was probably a Welsh soldier, but Rhys app Thomas was said to have killed him most likely not though.
Very good presentation. Intriguing, exciting, interesting. And informative, I learned a lot new about this bit of history.
Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback!
i enjoy these a lot your animations are really good
I truly enjoyed this video. I think it gave me a better impression of how battles were fought in this time period. I was aware that most English men-at-arms at the time fought dismounted because of the large number of longbowmen in English armies at the time (in the Hundred Years War English longbowmen caused devastating casualties against mounted French men-at-arms).
But I wanted a better understanding of the approximate probable percentage of English men-at-arms who fought dismounted versus those who fought mounted during battles of the Wars of the Roses. As a result of this video, I got the impression that it was mostly the men-at-arms in the bodyguard units (of Richard III, and Henry VII, and Lord Thomas Stanley and Sir William Stanley) that were mounted and that most of the remaining men-at-arms fought dismounted (along with less armored pole armed infantry and also longbowmen). Correct me if I'm wrong.
You are right. Cavalry charges were exceptionally rare during the Wars of the Roses.
It was mostly infantry, some early artillery and archers
These videos are outstanding!
Hey man, I am a new subscriber and just wanted to say that I really like this channel. This was an incredibly well-made and interesting video. Thanks for sharing this with us

But having such wonderful and caring viewers will certainly help me in the long run.
By the way, I'm working on the battle of Bannockburn right now.
It should be ready within a few weeks.

Well done!
Excellent video, there has always been conjecture of the actual site of this battle.
My last name is Bozworth...this is obviously totally fascinating to me...I was kind of a fan of Liverpool in the EPL but apparently I should be backing Leicester instead, since it appears that is where my ancestors are from

excellent work
Thank you! Cheers!
Richard is a 1st cousin 15x removed. Sir Thomas Stanley, stepfather of Henry Tudor, the man who placed The Crown on Henry's head is my 16th great grandfather. Related closely to The Plantagenet's on both Mother and Father's side, down to Geoffrey Plantagenet and on to The Conqueror and Rollo The Viking. Mom named me after Edward III's house poet Geoffrey Chaucer. Father's Y line goes to the DeRos family of Kilvarock . Scots nobles who fought on the side of William Wallace and Robert The Bruce.
Learning a lot from these vids.
That's wonderful.
A magnificent family tree.
Great depiction.
Amazing video - thank you 🙏
Thanks for the wonderful comment!
Really nice video, let hope for the battle of Călugăreni some time in the future.
Thank you!
I will need to do some research on the equipment and battle tactics of the period, but I will make it at some point.
Good stuff keep creating more
Thank you, I will
HistoryBattles3D Cool stuff, Will you be showing more battles like the battle of hastings also?
Actually, I have already made the battle of Hastings ua-cam.com/video/Zsazz-35ss8/v-deo.html !
Nice one please do more famous battles@@historybattles3D
Thank you for this magnificent content
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback!
Stunning work, this channel is amazing, I subscribed and liked. Eager to see many more battles. You should be hired by Creative Assembly to work on their Historical Total War strategy games, to bring realism and true History to their ranks, they surely need it. 👍👍👍👍
That's exceptionally high praise.
Thank you kindly!
I'll try to improve as much as humanly possible.
This channel is a constant work in progress and I think it will continue to be so infinitely.
Sooo, today I learned cannons were used in medieval warfare as far back as the 1400s?! I assumed they and gunpowder appeared in like the 1700s! I've got some serious holes in my historical knowledge.
This is amazing, but sadly very underrated
Τhank you so much!
Hopefully, the good graces of the algorithm will soon shine upon the video!
@@historybattles3DIt will happen, definitely some day. When you post that one video, maybe this is that one video maybe, maybe not. But I really want it to happen....
@@BigSmiley0105 Thank you very much!
I was fortunate enough that my videos got generally great views up until now.
I really hope this video will perform similarly as well.
Fingers crossed...
I was at Bosworth battlefield last week
can you tell me what are models for the armor used in this one and where can i get them i love the video
Thank you very much!
The models are not to be found on the market because I made 99% of them in Blender. That's why I spend more than a month or even two months on every video.
I've meticulously researched the armor worn by English soldiers of the period and tried to recreate them as authentically as possible.
I might re-use them in future videos
Richard went down like a true king
if this is game graphics its better than total war . great vids btw keep em coming dude
It is not game. These are models-landscape-animations, etc specifically made for this video by me.
Thank you very much for leaving such a wonderful comment!
I'd like to see the battle of Bannockburn covered in this style
That's exactly the battle I'm working on right now.
@@historybattles3D great!
we found a boar seal in allestree derby in a field and gave it to the derby museam to the south of derby
I read somewhere that when Oxford pulled back Norfolk followed up only to be taken in the right flank by mercenary French Pikemen. It was this that prompted Richard III to ‘go for broke’
Hmmm, not really sure to be honest.
I haven't read anything like that during my research but it could be possible.
There are many questions concerning this battle, for sure. So many grey areas.
@@historybattles3D Mike Ingram’s book ‘Richard III and the Battle of Bosworth’ is a good reference
For some reason the film Richard III cut a large part of the battle scene from the subsequent standard release of the movie. I had seen the full movie as a child when it was shown on American TV in the 50's, and the truncated version was even shown in revival houses. Only relatively recently has the full film been shown. Why they cut out the relatively brief but crucial scenes is a bit of a mystery.
IN WHICH GAME OR PROGRAM WAS THE ANIMATION MADE ?
Stanley backed the wrong side. Henry had him executed some time later.
Quite a underhand character was Stanley ..
Nope he didn’t he passed away peacefully
Convicted of treason and beheaded 1495@@GlennSkywalker2305
Surely Richard was killed by the Lord Rhys, under our Dragon and not by a Stanley trooper.....
Ι've heard both versions.
But I went with what I considered to be more likely, even though I might be wrong.
Ricardus should've won. He paid the bitter prices to be king, fought the bloody battles to be king, acted ruthlessly to be king. A true warrior with bravery beyond doubts. The usurper got lucky once but ONCE was enough. Such cruel fates.
Naaaa, he alienated all his nobles.. pissed on his brothers legacy, killed his nephews. Killed the most loyal and powerful yorkists in the country.... hence when he arrives at bosworth he is hated.. outmatched.. and absent of the support of those who could of saved him. His first experience of commanding an army in battled... results in a fail. Leading a division in your successful and skilled brothers army is alot different to leading your own army. In the end.. sadly, he reaped what he sowed.
@@kingmaker2865 You don't talk about your son in law like that man
@@d.dante_vergil he should of been like Clarence.... under my thumb
@@kingmaker2865 We all know for a fact that it was the Usurper who killed the princes. Not Ricardus. Hell, he even killed Clarence's boy. And about Bosworth. Ricardus would have definitely won if the Usurper hadn't acted so cowardly.
@@d.dante_vergil your right.. the usurper did kill them... and richard was the usurper 🤣🤣.

How long do you need to create a video animation like this?
Working everyday, it usually takes about a couple of months.
But I have been working and perfecting the system for quite a few months now so I'm building on top of already done work.
It is quite time consuming, unfortunately.
I could make them faster but the quality will drop.
Do Arsuf next, Richard the Lionheart vs. Saladin Ayyub!
I'll certainly do this battle at some point.
I still dont know why this channel has less viewer than king general channel
That's very flattering!

Ciekawy obraz, Bosworth to nie bitwa tylko spotkanie łapowników, obrzydliwe.
Great stuff this. Stanley you snivelling traitor!
For the comment gods
Thank you!
This is how Total War: Medieval 3 should look like.
Battle of Aljubarrota 1385!!!
I think feigned retreats are extremely strategic and you can see how it might play out. When they're fighting man to man, you can't tell as easily what part, if any, is doing well or poorly until it's too late. Oxford may have seen how well his men were doing, but how could he tell the men they were doing well?
Have them back up and take a look for themselves, the colors of the dead men would easily tell every person there the way the battle was going. Everyone could now see for themselves how the battle was going at that point. Does Northumberland attack if Norfolk was winning, since some punishment would be expected by Richard if he had won, but not so much if Richard was losing. So, not doing anything would have been extremely beneficial to Northumberland in that situation.
That retreat was strategic, that may have actually been the decisive moment of the battle itself.
That's something I haven't of before.
Really interesting analysis.
Lovely video.
I hope that one day Total War will use an engine that actually allows 10,000 troops on reach side! Then these videos will actually represent battles more accurately.
Thanks but this isn't Total War.
It's custom made animation by me.
Richard didn´t take off his helmet, nor did he dismounted his horse on his own. He was pulled down by his legs, where he fought the men for a long time, fioercely and valiantly, but he was outnumbered and out of breath, because his rib cage couldn´t expand because of his twisted spine. He was therefore breathing very shallowly, like a dog. Most people who remembered Richard recalled that he got often out of breath when speaking for prolonged periods of time. So imagine him in a battle, however experienced and excellent he must have been. After some time fighting the men, somebody grabbed Richard from the back, pushed him down, took him by the helmet, took out a knife, and cut off the strings holding it together, digging deep into Richard´s cheek in the process. Richard was reportedly kicking and screaming, but once that helmet was off, somebody pushed a rondel dagger into his skull from the top, and Rhys Ap Thomas came from behind and pushed a polearm into the back of Richard´s head, exposing his brain and killing him instanly (the only thing that excused him a bit is that he wrote in his diary that he shouldn´t have killed the king and that he felt guilty - he lived for the end of his life with monks). The battle was over. When Henry Tudor was crowned king by Lord Stanley right on the spot, he went celebrating, and Richard´s body was abandoned inside the pile of other soldiers. The next day, Henry remembered that he needed Richard´s dead body as a proof that "the king was dead, long live the (new) king", and ordered the body to be brought back from the Bosworth field on a mule as a mock statement. When the soldiers came to find the body, they discovered it was already naked, and that he had twisted spine. Because he had his brain spilled out, they were too disgusted to touch it, so they brought a shaft for the horse, put it around Richard´s neck, put a rope around the shaft, and tied the other end of the rope to the saddle of a horse that was standing sveral meters away. The horse than pulled the dead body of the old king from the dirty field back on the road. Richard´s hands were tied for a better transportation. They put him on the mule (belly down), and somebody thrust a sword up his ass as a sign of mockery. Richard was then paraded around York, which was the Yorkist stronghold, and around Leicester, so that everybody could see that the old king was dead and that he was a hunchback (because according to then belief, being a hunchback meant that he was twisted from the inside as well, and that the nasty inside showed on the outside, which curved his spine). After several days of being publically displayed like a puppet on some monument, somebody high-positioned in that town quietly ordered - (against the wishes of Henry Tudor, who wanted to behead the dead body and put his head on the spike of the Tower in London) - to take the body down before Henry Tudor could do that, and they gave it over to the Greyfriar monks, which Richard supported when he was alive, to be buried in their church, because at that time - before Henry VIII - even a king couldn´t go to church, exhume a body a do what he wanted with it. It was a big NO-NO and everyone followed this rule, even Henry Tudor (but he was furious that the commoners thwarted his sick plan). So Richard III was hastily buried, maybe only in a shroud and even without it, in a hastily dug out grave, and Henry Tudor was ASKED by the monks if he could AT LEAST PAY FOR THE TOMB OF THE DEAD KING. Henry was first offended that someone told him what to do, because he was the king now, but they reasoned with him and he quickly conceded that YES, HE COULD DO AT LEAST THAT FOR RICHARD. He paid for a standard and modest but still king-worthy alabaster tomb. The tomb was kinda old-fashioned, though, like the tombs from the 14th century, with just an ornamental alabaster rectangle block with Richard´s coat of arms and gothic lettering all around, and also a brass plate on top, showing Richard´s highly stylized lying body with hands clasped in prayer. But he did at least THAT. Henry Tudor´s second-born son, Henry VIII, later had most monasteries "bulldozed", so to speak, and he gave a special order to destroy THIS GREYFRIAR´S CHURCH, ALONG WITH THE TOMB OF KING RICHARD. Which is why the tomb was long-lost to history, and only the people who bought the place where the church had been standing knew the exact location of Richard´s burial place. In the 17th century, the then owner erected a "handsome ornamented pillar" in the place of Richard´s burial, saying that "Here lies Richard III, sometime king of England". In was standing in a large garden with apple trees. The rest of the people in England knew ONLY the so-so location of the Greyfriar´s Church, and the location of the tomb became a legend.
Very interesting.
I've researched a lot about Richard while making the video and I can honestly say that I was intrigued by his story.
His story gives the impression that he was a better man than he was portrayed to be.
John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk is my 15th great grandfather, and I still bear his last name. I honestly believe Henry Percy, 4th Earl of Northumberland was a traitor and allowed Norfolk's troops to be overrun
Wow!! What an amazing family history you have their buddy!!
My Kingdom for a Horse!!!
Do towton!
Rest in peace
Why such a low number of views of the latest video?
No idea....
I still hope it will pick up some steam within a few days.
It happened before but the algorithm isn't helping very much for now.
Its an interesting battle. The entire situation with the swamp is a bit weird.
It does sound like Richard was maybe heroic but not that good at leading an entire army. Maybe he had been great at leading parts of the army due to his own personal leadership / charisma. But he was no doubt pretty bad placing his troops at Bosworth. Its a terrible mistake to place part of your army on grounds where they wont be able to support anyone.
Maybe he wanted to link up with Stanley so as to ensure Stanley would be on his side. But he had no reserve for his right flank which is not a good idea.
Placing himself with his strong heavy cavalry at the center also sounds bad. Its one thing if he had been behind as a tactical reserve. But his idea of charging through the center head on is very basic thinking.
What did he think that Stanley was doing? If Henry was fighting over there with Stanley out on his own flank....Henry was obviously not afraid of Stanley. So Richard should at least be suspicious about it.
This in turn makes his charge look suicidal.
Like....he knew Stanley was on the other side and waiting for a chance. And he thought the only way was to try and kill Henry because otherwise Stanley would charge as soon as his right gave way.
This still does not explain why in hell Richard allowed his left flank to be placed in such terrain.
Another possibility is that the swamp thing was kind of a story told to hide the truth.
Maybe everyone realized Stanley was with Henry and by that time Northumberland did not want to engage. Which in turn would make Richard go suicidal because there was no other way to win. If he would wait much, he would risk both Stanley and Northumberland turning against him. Might be this is what happened.
Its also a bit suspicious that Henry´s forces charged at Norfolk and completely ignored Northumberland. So....maybe there was a much bigger betrayal going on. Maybe Henry did have Northumberland in his pocket too.
The Lords are still a pain….
Sir Rhys ap Thomas from Wales delivered Henry's death blow, not a " common foot soldier ".
What game is this?
It's not a game.
It is an almost entirely hand crafted animation made by me.
Henry and his Uncle Jasper were held in Brittany not him and his mother. His mother was in England. Just FYI
What about the English civil war?
Actually, the English Civil War is probably within my priorities for when I venture into the "gunpowder era".
I only need to figure out if it is a popular choice because I'll need to work on it for quite some time.
Richard III, the last English king killed in battle.
Poor dude
They had cannons in the 15th century?!!!
Yes, very early cannons.
Ps. I think Richard was a hero and that the Tudors got lucky. Also I think that his nephews were killed, not by his orders but by sycophants looking to curry favor !!!
' I think ' . 😂 , never short of a unhinged evidence ignoring ricardian these days. He literlly initiated his own downfall... luck was nothing to do with it 😂. Read a history book
The Duke of Buckingham 🤷🏽♂️
Both sides of Lancaster & York set him up
The nephews were alive in the tower of London after Richard died. Shakespeare was writing propaganda for the winners
One king fought with his men the other hid behind them .me thinks
The wrong one won.
Some of the soldiers used handguns.
Well done video. Richard remains one of the more mysterious and intriguing kings in English history. Often demonized, it's important to remember that this demonization is heavily influenced by Tudor propaganda (which sought to present him as a devil-like monster in order to lend legitimacy to the Tudor dynasty). Honestly, it's hard to say how much of this was Richard being an evil human and how much of it was driven by the sudden death of Edward and the power-hungry scheming of the Woodvilles. Fascinating period of time, a real-life Game of Thrones in every way.
Thank you very much!
It is indeed such a fascinating period.
I was totally hooked while making this video.
Should've put his visor down.
Was not the ending of The Plantagenet rule imposed from Europe a first indication of the lust for Brexit? If so Henry VII was the 'farrago' of his day. :-)
I just come to these videos to see the unhinged Ricardian apologists thirsting over him and ignoring history. Never fails to make me laugh 😂😂😂😂
were you disappointed?
@@dfjtobin God no 🤣🤣,
History often favors the victors, so there is no suprise you feel that way, but that does not always make it right.
The Welsh took the English Crown. Rhys ap Thomas was the hero of Bosworth
I really love this channel but pls don't choose a narrator with an Indian accent that is very hard to understand " no disrespect intended" .
Hahaha, I'm not from India!
I really don't think I sound anything close to Indian though.
Which words did you find hard to understand?
I was particularly careful to pronounce each word clearly to the point of speaking slowly and speeding up the VO in post production.
I'm really curious so that I can try to improve because paying for a voice artist is not financially possible for me right now, unfortunately.
I find the narration very clear and engaging.
