Epox!

Hello and welcome back to Epox.

If you remember last time, we just finished up with the two princes in the tower,

the ill-fated 12-year-old Edward V, who got murdered, almost certainly got murdered,

and his little brother, Richard, the Duke of York, were killed probably, in my opinion,

and most serious historians' opinion, probably on the Duke of York were killed probably, in my opinion, and most serious historians opinion,

probably on the orders of their paternal uncle,

Richard Duke of Gloucester,

Now, I've mentioned before, a really big date in English history is 1485.

That's the Battle of Bosworth Field. It shouldn't be any spoilers. I've already said it myself

the seventh, Henry 8th's dad, wins at that battle and we begin the Tudors win. Henry Tudor, Henry the seventh, Henry the eighth dad, wins at that battle and we

begin the Tudor period. So, as historians like to do, or anyone who tries to get it straight

in the right mind, there'll be certain years in history of vital importance and you can pin things

around that year. You know, like 1066 is one, right? 1945, let's say. 1588, the Spanish Armada. Well, when you drill down past some of the most

famous ones, like 1066, 1485 is a big one, for English history anyway. 1485, it's a giant one.

A bit like the year Constantinople fell, 1453.

1485, in the back of Bosworth Field is sort of a watershed moment when, you know, everything

changes. The whole history of England is put on a different timeline, basically, because of that
