	Battle of Bosworth Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The actual site of the battle has been the topic of often contentious debate among professional and amateur historians, with a compelling case being made for situating the battle closer to the villages of Dadlington and Stoke Golding, although most are agreed that Richard's encampment the night before the battle was indeed on Ambion Hill.
		Richard reached Ambion Hill first and his troops were well-rested going into the battle, while Henry's men had trouble lining up on the rough ground below – it is unclear why.
		This has led to the theory that the battle was not fought on Ambion Hill but on a reedy moor in the same area.

	Michael Miller - Wars of the Roses - Chapter 77 Supplement: Alternative site to the Battle of Bosworth: 1485
		Ambion Hill is accepted by most historians as the true site of the battle, and mostly this is due to the description given by Polydore Vergil in his book Anglica Historia, even if this work is not as precise as it might be.
		From the top of Ambion Hill, there was then excellant visibility for many miles around in marked contrast to today, when many hedges, trees and copses obscure the view.
		The Hill could be held by his own and the Howard divisions alone without the help of the unreliable Northumberland, who would have found it very much more difficult to desert if that was what he had in mind.

	Bosworth 1485
		The accepted version is this: the wicked and tyrannical usurper Richard III is found perched defensively on Ambion Hill in Leicestershire, nervously awaiting the advance of the heroic challenger, Henry Tudor.
		It is therefore intriguing to note the lasting rancour of the newly victorious Tudor against the heralds – one of his first actions on reaching the capital was to boot them unceremoniously out of the luxury accommodation Richard had supplied.
		The dynamic and proactive leader I see is unlikely to be found huddled on top of a hill, a fundamentally defensive position which would leave him little room for manoeuvre and at the mercy of someone else’s strategy.

		Ambion Hill's south-western aspect is in places steep, and where it slopes away on its easterly side there was at the time a marsh.
		This marsh, fed by the springs on Ambion hill, formed a substantial barrier to a body of advancing troops, and served as a guard to one of the flanks.
		From his position atop Ambion Hill, Richard had always known where Henry Tudor was to be found; he was among the small Tudor reserve at the bottom of the Hill.

		The traditional narrative of the battle is well-established: the confusion surrounding King Richard III’s camp on the eve of the battle; the inactivity of key parts of his host, notably the earl of Northumberland; Richard’s impetuous charge down Ambion Hill; and the final, decisive intervention of the Stanleys leading to Henry Tudor’s improbable victory.
		Historians who have followed Hutton and placed Richard on Ambion Hill have ignored a key piece of evidence: Polydore Vergil’s statement that Tudor manoeuvred to a position that gave him the advantage of having the sun at his back.
		Richard saw the coming battle as an opportunity to vindicate his kingship and thus would not have taken up a defensive position; moreover, Ambion Hill is simply not large enough for the king to have deployed his host and marshalled his cavalry charge effectively.
