With Richmond dead and with the Lancastrians without a heir... why killing Richard? If he dies, the crown goes to John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln, another Yorkist claimants.
With Richmond gone, who may claim the crown for the Lancasters? Charles Somerset, 1st Earl of Worcester (c. 1460–1526) perhaps?
Also, the blow of seeing their leader fallen at the hands of their enemy, the courage of the Lancastrian soldiers would sink. End of the battle.
