ボズワースの戦い
Ambion Hill was long considered to be the site of the Battle of Bosworth Field and is where the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre is situated. The chronicler Raphael Holinshed wrote in 1577 that Richard III "pitched his field on a hill called Anne Beame, refreshed his soldiers and took his rest". This was taken by the C18th antiquary William Hutton to mean that Ambion Hill was the site of the battle. Hutton's book "The Battle of Bosworth Field", published in 1788, was very influential in causing the hill to be accepted as the site of the battle.
