Leicestershire Museums report that the Bosworth Battlefield’s annual re-enactment weekend in August was a great success.
In 2008, 2900 visitors made their way to the Bosworth Battlefield site, which had been a record then. However for the 2009 event, figures rose by around 82% to 5300 visitors, as people from as far afield as Australia and America turned out to witness the death of Richard III and the birth of the Tudor dynasty. The War of the Roses thrilled audiences with daring displays of jousting, skills at arms and the finale of King Richard III’s last stand.
