You're standing in the rolling farmland of Leicestershire, south of Market Bosworth. It looks peaceful, but somewhere around here, on 22 August 1485, the future of England was decided. The Battle of Bosworth was the last big battle of the Wars of the Roses, the civil war between the houses of York and Lancaster.
