EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of historical significance when Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, was crowned Henry VII of England following his victory over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. The battle, which took place on August 22, 1485, marked the end of the Wars of the Roses and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty. Henry, dressed in full armor, is shown being crowned by a herald, as soldiers in the background raise their trumpets in celebration. The battlefield of Bosworth Field, strewn with debris and the remnants of the conflict, lies in the background. Henry's triumphant expression and the jubilant faces of his soldiers convey the sense of relief and elation that came with the end of the long-running civil war. The Battle of Bosworth was a pivotal moment in English history, marking the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Tudor monarchy. Henry's victory established him as the first monarch of the Tudor dynasty, which would last for over a century and include such notable rulers as Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. This print, which dates from the 1480s, provides a fascinating glimpse into the pageantry and pomp of medieval royalty, as well as the raw emotion and excitement of a hard-fought battle. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of the monarchy and the impact of individual leadership on the course of history.
