On August 22, 1485, the Battle of Boswalt broke out. With the support of the nobles of the York family who supported the descendants of Edward IV, Henry Tudor, a distant relative of the Lancaster family, defeated Richard III's 8000 troops with an army of 5000. Richard III died in the battle, thus ending the rule of the York family. Later, Henry Tudor established himself as Henry VII and married Edward IV's eldest daughter Elizabeth to establish the Tudor Dynasty, which eventually ended the Wars of the Roses.
