At the start of the battle Richard had the advantage as he was on the crest of the hill but Henrys bowmen inflicted damage on Richards army
We have the high ground.!!,
The battle lasted 2-3 hours until Richard made the fatal mistake of charging towards Henry himself. He nearly got to him if it wasn’t for Henry’s bodyguards.
So close!!!
At that point Lord Stanley signalled his men o switch sides, Richard was charged and killed. Lord Stanley picked up the crown and placed it on Henry’s head
