Battle of Bosworth 1485
Guys,
It has been announced on the BBC today that archaeologists have found the place on Bosworth field where Richard the Third was killed by Henry Tudor's forces. It is believed that research done in the 1970's misplaced where the King fell. I attach some commentary for you to listen too:

Hope you like it, it was on BBC main news today.

Wow that is fascinating. And they actually found a silver badge bearing the symbol of a boar, Richard III's personal emblem that he gave the members of his retinue.

Fall asleep, probably. But that's just me, this kind of history doesn't interest me.
