A lot of his rule was pretty tragic, though. There was a lot of war. One of his closest allies ended up turning against him. The Duke of Buckingham switched over in a line with the Tudors, Henry Tudor specifically. They were a different family who had this, you know, they had a they said they had a claim to an ancestral line that was, I guess, to our modern eye seems fairly vague.

But back then it seemed important enough to go to war over.

Yeah. And, you know, he also had personal tragedy. A few months after that, his only child, Edward, died. His wife died not long after that. And then Henry Tudor comes to knock in again. He goes, you might have stopped me once, but you're not going to stop me again. And on August 22nd, 1485, They went to battle again at Bosworth Field outside of Leicester.

And this is where Richard, as king, fought and was killed in battle. I think the last English king to actually die on the battlefield, right? Yes. But he was the last king and he, by all accounts, died in a pretty brutal way. If you consider like, you know, blunt force trauma and head damage to be a brutal way to go. And I do.

No, they he didn't get the head on a pike with a paper crown. They instead stripped him down nude and paraded him through town on the horse. And apparently people were like, you know, jabbing and stabbing at his at his body on the horse. And he was literally had stab wounds in his butt. He was buried.

Historically speaking, he was buried in a place called Gray Friars, a Franciscan church in Leicester. And other people say, no, it was he was exhumed by a mob. They threw him into a river. And that was sort of we'll get to that. But it was I guess we've already ruined the fact that it's not a mystery anymore. But it was a mystery for a while.

Yeah, the earliest, like, historical records we really have on Richard III are from that Tudor period. They are not flattering at all. One guy named John Rouse, he was a guy, and this is kind of pretty decent evidence that it was a smear campaign. He was... a historian who wrote about him before and after his death. While he was alive, he was saying, great leader. He helped the rich and the poor.
