Context paragraphs:
Richard III of England: Richard III (2 October 1452 – 22 August 1485) was King of England from 1483 until his death in 1485, at the age of 32, in the Battle of Bosworth Field.  He was the last king of the House of York and the last of the Plantagenet dynasty.  His defeat at Bosworth Field, the last decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses, marked the end of the Middle Ages in England.  He is the subject of the historical play "Richard III" by William Shakespeare.

Ballad of Bosworth Field: The Ballad of Bosworth Field is a poem in the English language, believed to have been written before 1495; the earliest extant copy dates from the mid-17th century.  The poem is thought to have been written by someone closely connected with the Stanley family, because of the way it praises the Stanley brothers for their role in the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.

Nicholas Gaynesford: Nicholas Gainsford, also written Gaynesford or Gaynesforde, (about 1427–1498) of Carshalton, Surrey, of an armigerous gentry family established at Crowhurst, was a Justice of the Peace, several times Member of Parliament and High Sheriff of Surrey and Sussex, Constable and Keeper of Odiham Castle and Park, Hampshire, who served in the royal households from around 1461 until his death in 1498.  Rising to high office during the reign of Henry VI, he was an Usher to the Chamber of Edward IV and, by 1476, to his queen Elizabeth Woodville.  Closely within the sphere of Woodville patronage, he was a favourer of Edward V, and was a leader in the Kentish rising of 1483 against Richard III.  He was attainted in 1483, but was soon afterwards pardoned, and fully regained his position and estate as Esquire to Henry VII and Elizabeth of York after the Battle of Bosworth Field.  He established the Carshalton branch of the Gainsford family.

Hugh Conway (Lord Treasurer): Sir Hugh Conway was created Lord Treasurer of Ireland in 1494 by King Henry VII of England.  He replaced Sir James Ormonde as Lord Treasurer of Ireland.  In 1504 he was appointed Treasurer of Calais by Henry VII ( Cal.  Pat.  Rolls Henry VIII, vol.  ii, 365).  Hugh Conway was an early supporter of Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond (later Henry VII), was sent by Margaret Beaufort, Henry's mother to Henry, in exile in France, in 1483 with a large sum of money and encouragement to invade England through Wales and seize the crown from Richard III.  Henry did so in 1485 and Richard was killed at the Battle of Bosworth, where Hugh was present.  Hugh was appointed Keeper of the Great Wardrobe by King Henry VII on 21 September 1485, was knighted in January 1486 at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward IV, and married Elizabeth Courtenay, daughter of Sir Thomas Courtenay, Earl of Devon, in 1490.  Sir Hugh Conway was appointed Sheriff of Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire by Henry VII in 1500.  Sir Hugh was a son of John ‘ Aer Conwy Hen ’ of Bodrhyddan Hall and Constable of Rhuddlan Castle, Flintshire, Wales, by his first marriage, and descended from the ancient line of Conway (Conwy = Wales) and de Crevecouer (The Journal Of The Flintshire Historical Society (Appendix D: Conwy Pedigree (British Museum Harleian MS 1971))).  Sir Hugh's younger half-brother was Edward Conway who married the heiress of Arrow and Alcester, Warwickshire, and was great-grandfather to Edward Conway, 1st Viscount Conway of Ragley Hall, ancestor of the present family of Seymour Conways, Marquis of Hertford.

Ricardian (Richard III): Ricardians are people interested in altering the posthumous reputation of Richard III, King of England (reigned 1483–1485).  Richard III has long been portrayed unfavourably, most notably in William Shakespeare's play "Richard III", in which Richard is portrayed as having murdered his nephew, the crown prince of England, a 12 year old child at the time, in order to secure the English throne for himself.  Ricardians have worked in an effort to turn this around and to paint this portrayal, and the many other related assertions that followed, as most probably false politically motivated accusations.

Dominic Mancini: Dominic Mancini was an Italian who visited England in 1482-3.  He witnessed the events leading up to Richard III being offered the English crown.  He left in 1483 and wrote a report of what he had witnessed.  He called it: "De Occupatione Regni Anglie per Riccardum Tercium" ("The Occupation of the Throne of England by Richard III").  The account is a major source of information about the period, but it sat unread in a French library until rediscovered in 1934.

Battle of Bosworth Field: The Battle of Bosworth Field (or Battle of Bosworth) was the last significant battle of the Wars of the Roses, the civil war between the Houses of Lancaster and York that raged across England in the latter half of the 15th century.  Fought on 22 August 1485, the battle was won by the Lancastrians.  Their leader Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, by his victory became the first English monarch of the Tudor dynasty.  His opponent, Richard III, the last king of the House of York, was killed in the battle.  Historians consider Bosworth Field to mark the end of the Plantagenet dynasty, making it a defining moment of English and Welsh history.

James Harrington (Yorkist knight): Sir James Harrington, KB, MP of Hornby (? 1430 – 22 August 1485) was a prominent supporter of the House of York in Northern England during the Wars of the Roses, having been retained by Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, who was brother-in-law to the head of the House of York, Richard of York.  He was second son of Sir Thomas Harrington, who had died with the king's father at the Battle of Wakefield in December 1460.  James himself had fought with Salisbury at the Battle of Blore Heath in 1459, where he had been captured and imprisoned by the Lancastrians until the next year.  He was a significant regional figure during the reign of King Edward IV, although the early years of the new king's reign were mared by a bitter feud between him and the Stanley family over a castle in Lancashire.  On the accession of King Richard III in 1485, he was appointed to the new king's Household, and as such was almost certainly with him at Battle of Bosworth two years later.  It is likely that he fell in battle there, although precise details of his death are now unknown.

The Black Adder: The Black Adder is the first series of the BBC sitcom "Blackadder", written by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson, directed by Martin Shardlow and produced by John Lloyd.  The series was originally aired on BBC One from 15 June 1983 to 20 July 1983, and was a joint production with the Australian Seven Network.  Set in 1485 at the end of the British Middle Ages, the series is written as a secret history which contends that King Richard III won the Battle of Bosworth Field, only to be unintentionally assassinated by his nephew Edmund and succeeded by Richard IV, one of the Princes in the Tower.  The series follows the exploits of Richard IV's unfavoured second son Edmund (who calls himself "The Black Adder") in his various attempts to increase his standing with his father and, in the final episode, his quest to overthrow him.

Thomas Arundell (1454–1485): Sir Thomas Arundell (1454–1485) was an English nobleman.  He was made a Knight of the Bath at the Coronation of Richard III in 1483.  Two years later, when Richard III was defeated at the Battle of Bosworth (1485), he was attainted for rebelling against the King.  Arundell then gave his support to Henry Tudor in his claim to the throne.  His marriage to the heiress, Katherine Dynham, brought great wealth to the Arundell family.  She was one of the four sisters and coheirs of John Dynham, 1st Baron Dynham.
