It was fought on August 22, 1485 between the King Richard III, the last of the House of York, and the Lancastrian contender for the crown, Henry Tudor, 2nd Earl of Richmond (later King Henry VII).

Sprightly, and some would say rampant, Sir John de Vere (Rod Smith) began re-enactment before most the women he has flashed his libido at were born.
Beginning in the White Company in 1988 and quickly mastering bow and sword, he joined the MSS in 2001 ready for the combative fighting style involved in such a rough and tumble group, he was fully prepared- fully prepared to dance that is!
He is mainly a Stella drinker although he has been known to stun his colleagues with a last minute shift to Grolsch, but ever since Lowenbrau was removed from his local alehouse he has drifted, like Wayne Sleep, from event to event on the ever-lasting quest for skulduggery.
