Bosworth Oak

Today we, ahem, 'adventurously' braved the cold wind, the gloom and the mud and went to have a look at the area where the Battle of Bosworth was fought. This was where the last of the Plantaganets, Richard III fell and the Tudors began their dynastic rule.

 

Interest in this era has increased after Richard's remains were found under a carpark in 2012 and there is a running debate over the exact location of the battlefield.

 

I then had a minor adventure in Gimp.
