Editing Battle of Bosworth Field (section)

===Rediscovered battlefield and possible battle scenario===
The very extensive survey carried out (2005–2009) by the Battlefields Trust headed by Glenn Foard led eventually to the discovery of the real location of the core battlefield.<ref>Glenn Foard & Anne Curry (2013). ''Bosworth 1485: A Battlefield Rediscovered''. Oxford: Oxbow Books. pp. 195–198. {{JSTOR|j.ctt14bs19c}}</ref> This lies about a kilometre further west of the location suggested by Peter Foss. It is in what was at the time of the battle an area of marginal land at the meeting of several township boundaries. There was a cluster of field names suggesting the presence of marshland and heath.

Experts believe that the boar badge could indicate the actual site of Richard III's death, since this high-status badge depicting his personal emblem was probably worn by a member of his close retinue.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/leicestershire/8523386.stm |title=New Battle of Bosworth Field site revealed |publisher=BBC News |date=19 February 2010}}</ref>

A new interpretation<ref name="NHLE">{{NHLE|num=1000004|desc=Battle of Bosworth (Field) 1485 |access-date=30 July 2016}}</ref> of the battle now integrates the historic accounts with the battlefield finds and landscape history. The new site lies either side of the Fenn Lanes Roman road, close to Fenn Lane Farm and is some three kilometres to the south-west of Ambion Hill.

Based on the round shot scatter, the likely size of Richard III's army, and the topography, Glenn Foard and Anne Curry think that Richard may have lined up his forces on a slight ridge which lies just east of Fox Covert Lane and behind a postulated medieval marsh.<ref>[http://www.battlefieldstrust.com/media/776.pdf Bosworth Battlefield: Conjectural terrain reconstruction with two options for the Royal army deployment], Battlefields Trust</ref><ref>[http://www.battlefieldstrust.com/media/775.pdf Deployments], Battlefields Trust</ref> Richard's vanguard commanded by the Duke of Norfolk was on the right (north) side of Richard's battle line, with the Earl of Northumberland on Richard's left (south) side.

Tudor's forces approached along the line of the Roman road and lined up to the west of the present day Fenn Lane Farm, having marched from the vicinity of Merevale in Warwickshire.{{sfn|Hammond|2013|p=64}}

Historic England have re-defined the boundaries of the registered Bosworth Battlefield to incorporate the newly identified site. There are hopes that public access to the site will be possible in the future.<ref name="NHLE"/><ref>{{cite web |title=Bosworth Battlefield: The Way Forward |date=August 2013 |url=http://www.hwa.uk.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/EB-23.pdf |access-date=2016-08-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160818145049/http://www.hwa.uk.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/EB-23.pdf |archive-date=18 August 2016}}</ref>
