The weapons are a mixture of old swords, pikes, bows, and new gunpowder cannon and handguns.
When the lines first slam into each other, there's fierce fighting, which Henry and Richard watch from behind the lines.
But Richard, an experienced fighter and a brave one too, has no interest in hanging back.
Henry Tudor is an untested 28-year-old lightweight who's never felt the danger of battle.
Richard has been doing this all his life.
So he makes the decision to charge into the action and hit Henry head-on.
Inflamed with ire, he struck his horse with the spurs, says one chronicle account.
Richard thunders into the battle, with his crown mounted on his helmet.
It's a brilliant attack.
Richard heads straight for Henry's standard bearer, the guy carrying the flag that marks out Henry's position and signals to the other troops that he's still alive.
The assault comes so hard and fast that Henry's standard bearer is knocked over and killed, and the standard falls.
This could be the end for Henry.
Few armies will carry on fighting if it looks like their leader is dead.
But fortunately for him, there's a twist.
Because lingering, a short distance away from the battlefield, is another army, loyal to the Stanley family.
Around three thousand reserve troops are lingering, waiting to see which way the wind is blowing before they throw down.
they throw down for Henry.
And as those fresh Stanley troops pour onto the field, it's all over for the King's army.
What's more, it's all over for the King.
Richard is now fighting in the thick of the press, and he's beset on all sides.
