Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth

Richard III at Bosworth canvas print Ref: RB-XLC

King Richard III reaches for his lance as his trusted companion and Controller of the Royal Household, Sir Robert Percy, points out Henry Tudor amongst the enemy host, prompting the King to make the decision to lead his household knights and retainers in their thundering charge towards the challenger to his throne.

Richard is shown encased in gilded armour, befitting a monarch demonstrating his right to wear the crown of England as God's anointed ruler. His surcoat and horse caparison (cloth covering) bear the Royal Arms and his instantly recognisable badge of the white boar is displayed on the standard fluttering above him.

With him can be identified some of his retainers and knights of the body, men such as Sir Percival Thirlwall, Richard's Standard bearer, Lord Scrope of Bolton, Sir Robert Brackenbury, Sir James Harrington, Sir Richard Ratcliffe and Sir Ralph Ashton.

Individually printed on good quality canvas before being stretched on wooden stretcher bars and then varnished for protection.
