By David T Gardner, April 21st 2025
On August 22, 1485, King Richard III fell at Bosworth, his crown claimed by Sir William Gardynyr’s poleaxe and Henry Tudor’s ambition. This volume, drawn from the *Sir Williams Key Project*’s 37,001 documents, unveils 100 quotations, gory death details, last words, and ledgers—chronicling Richard’s defiant reign and brutal end. From royal commands to the skull-shattering blows that ended York’s rule, these entries, sourced from ancient folios and modern forensics, resurrect the clash that birthed the Tudor dynasty. Sir Williams Key is the Future of History.
