Bosworth field

Since we were in Leicester it seemed mad (for Misha - I could've just as easily strolled down Belgrave Road and had a curry!) not to visit Bosworth - the site of one of the last battles of the War of the Roses, and where Henry Tudor, newly arrived from exile in France, faced Richard III for the throne in 1485 and won it.

A little warm up in the form of the Games Workshop shop sparked Gregor's interest the previous day.

Food in the 15th century.......still pretty gamey and without spice, but not completely bland.

Gregor taking his new service as halberdier in the (losing) Duke of Norfolk's contingent very seriously.

And Misha was in his element discussing the finer details of the English civil war with the footsoldier-cum-guide.

And while daddy was busy nattering the boys were running riot...
So we shoved them into the stocks for a taster of real punishment.
Then ran down the hill where the battle took place.


And up again.
