Henry VII was born in Pembrokeshire, and had an army to attack Richard III in 1485. But because he did not think his army was big enough, he gained reinforcments from his local town (Pembrokeshire) and marched towards Richard III. In 1485, Henry VII met Richard III’s army in Bosworth field. Both armies charged at each other. They fought bravely, until Richard’s horse got stuck in the mud but he carried on on foot. Unexpectedly, Richard III was struck in the head with a huge axe. The crown of Richard was found in a bush, and there and then Henry Tudor was crowned King Henry VII on Bosworth field 1485.
