	Order of Calatrava - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In both lives there was an heroic struggle to sustain, whether against one's passions or against the Moslems, and the austerities of an ascetic life could not have been more dreadful to them than the privations of camp life and the wounds of battle.
		In the disastrous battle of Alarcos, the knights were overpowered and, in spite of splendid heroism, were obliged to leave their bulwark of Calatrava in the power of the Moslem (1195).
		The battle of Toro (1479), where the pretensions of Portugal were annihilated, ended this schism, the last in the history of the order.

		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.
		Richard’s deliberate approach to the battle can be seen in his pre-battle crown-wearing ritual; not merely with any crown but with the sacred crown of Edward the Confessor, transforming the ritual into a second coronation.
		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.

		It seems audacious to transport a battle some eight miles from its long- established environs, and particularly this one, for Bosworth 1485 is central to any debate on Richard III as man and king.
		The geography of the traditional battle site plays a key part in these events: the king huddled defensively on the summit of a hill, the narrow west-facing escarpment from which he makes his ill-judged charge.
		I have visited many battle sites and have often found them intensely moving places where one can easily sense the drama and emotion of the life and death combats which have marked them.
