About this episode
In August 1485, the would-be king Henry Tudor went head-to-head with King Richard III - the final, decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses. Only one of these men would leave the battlefield alive, and this bloody clash between Houses York and Tudor would decide the future of Britain.
Joining us is Matt Lewis, host of the Gone Medieval podcast, to take us through this climactic moment in British history.
Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.
