1485

1485 (MCDLXXXV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Julian calendar. One of the more notable events to take place this year was the Battle of Bosworth Field on August 22nd. This was presented in the 1939 film Tower of London, in which the heroic John Wyatt brings exiled Henry Tudor back to England from France as a claimant to the throne. The murderous Richard III, Duke of Gloucester and King of England is killed during the battle and Henry Tudor ascends to the throne.
