Today King Richard III is remember as a great reformer(perhaps the greatet creator of the Common Law saving Edward I) and chivalric champion who lead England from the Middle Ages into Renaissance. Of course he is remembered in song and Shakespeare for the heroic charge down Ambion Hill against Henry Tudor Mercenary Pikemen who broke at the charge of the English Knights and Tudor himself was killed.
Now recalling that the pike was about to become the primary weapon in European warfare and begin the decline of heavy carvery what would have happen if Good King Dick's charge had been broken.
Would Henry have won the battle of Ambion[1](I wonder if that even be the name in that Timeline)?
Would the early reforms of Richard had lasted ?
Would England had led the crusade that broke Ottoman power in Eastern Europe?
Would a less pious King have funded Columbus?
How would history have viewed his justified removal of Edward V?
[1] Ambion is of course our timeline Battle of Bosworth Field the name the hill down which the Army charged by have been choice if it had worked
