Richard was the last English king to die in battle, killed at Bosworth on 22 August, 1485, fighting the forces of Henry Tudor. The consequent ascension of the Lancastrian Henry Tudor to the throne as Henry VII, and his marriage to Princess Elizabeth of the House of York, marked the end of the lengthy and bloody dynastic struggle we now call the Wars of the Roses (which, incidentally, were one of the main inspirations for fantasy writer George RR Martin in his A Song of Ice and Fire – which pits the House of Lannister against the House of Stark, rather than Lancaster against York). In The Lost King, Richard appears in visions to Langley (played by Harry Lloyd).

Kendall (1956), pp.150–151, quoting from Mancini's De Occupatione Regni Anglie per Riccardum Tercium: "After the death of Clarence, he [Richard] came very rarely to court. He kept himself within his own lands and set out to acquire the loyalty of his people through favours and justice. The good reputation of his private life and public activities powerfully attracted the esteem of strangers. Such was his renown in warfare, that whenever a difficult and dangerous policy had to be undertaken, it would be entrusted to his direction and his generalship. By these arts, Richard acquired the favour of the people and avoided the jealousy of the queen, from whom he lived far separated." One member of the University of Leicester team, Professor Turi King, carried out key DNA studies, providing conclusive evidence and spending hours in the laboratory.
