Which king was killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485?
Explanation
Richard III was the king who was killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. He was the last king of the Plantagenet dynasty and his death marked the end of the Wars of the Roses. Richard III became king in 1483 after his brother's sudden death, but his reign was a controversial one marred by accusations of tyranny and usurpation. The battle itself was a turning point in English history, as Richard III faced Henry Tudor's forces. Despite Richard III's reputation as a skilled military strategist, he was ultimately defeated and killed in the midst of the battle, leading to Henry Tudor's rise to the throne as Henry VII.
