Historical Tales

Wider view of the gatehouse in the remaining parts of Richmond Palace. Photo May 2000.

Since I still haven’t made it up to the Bosworth Battlefield (although it is high on the list of places for the trip I’m planning for next year), I didn’t have a photo directly related to today’s anniversary of the battle. So instead I chose a photo of part of the Richmond Palace remains, built by Henry VII and named for his title of Earl of Richmond which he held at the time of the decisive battle that ultimately made him king.
