Henry Tudor was also called Henry VII. He lived for about 15 year in France, where he ran away to safety. Otherwise he would have been killed - as the: "princes in the tower," were.
When Henry returned home, having learned from his monther, that Richard III had been weakened by being declared to have no heirs - when he thought he had two of them, he bought with him 7000 men, mostly french.
The two men met in battle, Richard having far superior numbers. But Henry showed skill on the battlefield, forming his men into a wedge to divide the mass attack of Richard, and Richard's army were split asunder.
