Search for Descendants of Battle of Bosworth Soldiers

Have you researched your ancestry back to 1485 AD? If so, check their names against a list of soldiers who fought at the Battle of Bosworth, south of the town of Market Bosworth in Leicestershire.

The descendants of soldiers who fought at the Battle of Bosworth are being sought by a Leicestershire council.

The Battle of Bosworth, fought in August 1485, ended decades of English civil war now known as the Wars of the Roses. The county council is now celebrating the battle's 525th anniversary by launching an international search for the descendants of soldiers. A special anniversary re-enactment is being held later this month.
