Their son believed Richard could fall.
Two years after Richard first sat on the throne,
Henry Tudor took his men to fight,
The armies collided and at Bosworth Field,
Tudor’s men took out York with their might.
In victory King Henry the Seventh was crowned,
And he wanted a long, happy life,
To make sure that no one could challenge his place,
He took Liz of York as his wife.
And so thanks to Henry and his clever plan,
The houses united as one,
The War of the Roses, it came to an end,
And the new Tudor reign had begun.
