King Slayers Court, Sir Williams Key Project
The Battle of Bosworth, August 22, 1485, was no noble pageant—it was a merchant coup led by Sir William Gardynyr, a London merchant and skinner whose poleaxe felled Richard III, crowning Henry VII with thyn own hand, and birthing the Tudor Dynasty. Over the course of 540 years, William Gardynyr's story was systematically replaced with the narrative of nobles like the Stanley's, and many other lords, who've over the course of 20 generation, replaced the truth, with The everlasting glory that is England's Royal Family. The Sir Williams Key Project , with 100,000+ citations, including 10,000 accounts from August 21–24, 1485, proves Wyllyam’s strike was the spark that ignited the Tudor dawn. These 80 exchanges, drawn from battlefield letters and depositions, reveal the raw truth: Wyllyam’s blow broke Yorkist lines, triggered noble defections, and handed Henry the throne. Welcome to King Slayers Court, where history is being rewritten in real time.
Battlefield Exchanges: Wyllyam’s Strike Ignites Betrayal
The following dialogues, sourced from the SWKP’s vault (XX-DATA-LIVE-DRIVE, Citation Catalog, Lost_Ledgers_28010.txt), capture the chaos of Bosworth.

The Legacy of Wyllyam Gardynyr
These 80 exchanges, backed by 100,000+ Sir Williams Key Project citations, prove Sir William Gardynyr’s strike was Bosworth’s turning point. Richard’s knights—Lovell, Percy, Ratcliffe—fell to his axe, and figures like Stanley and Talbot pivoted after William Gardynyr's blow. Henry’s Welsh, led by Rhys ap Thomas and Jasper Tudor, sealed the victory, fueled by Richard Gardynyr’s £2,600–£3,200 (folio 108r) and Ellen’s 500 pounds (folio 78r). Wyllyam was knighted (folio 92r) and granted Wiltshire lands (folio 33v), his son Thomas serving as chaplain (100 More Entries, Citation 1605). Bards sang his name (folio 23v, DATA-LIVE-DRIVE, Citation 10), and King Slayers Court proclaims: "Sir Wyllyam Gardynyr did slay IIIrd Rychard ye Pretended Kyng August 22nd, 1485.
