What was the last battle in the wars of the Roses, who was the winner, how did they achive that victory?

           
 The last battle was held on August 22, 1485 it was called the Battle of Bosworth Field. York had already met his death at the Battle of Wake field, but Margret,of the Lancastrian is still living, after she disinherited her son she is the the head of the Lancastrians now. Richard had ruled for only two years before he was challanged by the red rose Henry Turdor for the Battle Of Bosworth. Henry collected reniforcements for the ballte in Wales but Stanley would offer no support, only encourgament.

On August 17th Henry met with William Stanley who Richard had called a tratior.Stanley would not openly offer Henry support because he feared for his son ,whoes name is Strange, that he would be killed because he was bing held by Richard. Doubting the loyalty of some of his supporters, and rlying  mainly on the northern adherents, Richard went West to a town O Sutton Cheney, which he reached on August 21st.  That very same night, only FOUR , yes yes I did just say FOUR miles away was the enemy , Henry camped at a place called Whitemoors. The Stanley's camped far away from both armies with a force of about 8,000.  

The next morning the two armies prepared for battle, although the kings army had the upper hand because they had more people, but it would only work if the Stanley's do not help  Henry's men. The Stanley's were in sight of both armies but made no move to join either, which made both armies guess what they were going to do. After the archers began to fire, the two armies attacked. John de Vere, Earl of Oxford was leading Henry's attack, while John Howard ( look at that what a coincidence both people's first names are John, sorry, just thought that was funny), Duke of Norofolk, was commanding the royal army.

Historians are unsure what made Richard full on attack Henry's men, it could have been that he thought the Stanley's were about to join Henry's men, or that the Stanley's made a move towards his stepfather; whatever King Richard was thinking was his last mistake. He took his mounted men straight into battle with Henry's men. Richard himself killed Henry's standard bearer, Sir William Brandon, but before the royal army could make any good come out of their attack, William Stanley's men overcame them.  The king was unhorsed and killed, Henry was immediately crowned king and the fighting ended.

Archaeologists don't know exactly where the battle took place but, recent research shows that it was possibly half a mile to the south, in the plain between Ambren Hill and the Village of Dadlington.Richards body was paraded naked through Leicester. Dead on the field were Sir Richard Ratcliff, Norfolk, and Sir Robery Bracken Burly, all of which were Yorkists.  It was a red rose victory and to stop the fighting Henry married Elizabeth of York daughter of Edward VI.
