The Battle of Bosworth

Kelly DeVries and Michael Livingston — two of the best medieval military historians working in English — break down Bosworth with particular attention to how the archaeological identification of the actual battlefield has rewritten our understanding of the engagement. The discussion of Richard III's cavalry charge, the role of the Stanley contingent, and the terrain evidence is exactly the kind of battlefield analysis that makes this show consistently rewarding. If you care about how battles are reconstructed from physical evidence, this is the episode for you.
