THIS DAY IN HISTORY
June 16
1487 - The Battle of Stoke Field ended the English Civil War - better known as the War of the Roses.
This battle is often overlooked in the English civil war, but it was the last real challenge presented by the Yorkists to Henry VII...Needless to say, Henry won the battle, and soon founded the Tudor Dynasty.
It's also interesting to note Henry's opponent was a 10-year old pretender to the throne.
