On this date in 1485, Henry Tudor landed near Milford Haven and Pembroke in SW Wales, at the start of the last militarily successful invasion of England.
Fifteen days later, at the close of the Battle of Bosworth Field, Tudor was King Henry VII, and the previous king, Richard III, was dead.
(One could argue that the 1688 expedition that brought William and Mary to the British throne as joint sovereigns was the last militarily successful invasion, but the main reason that one succeeded was the flight of James II -- which is why, in addition to being known as the "Glorious Revolution," 1688 is also known as the "Bloodless Revolution." In 1485, by contrast, Richard III actively opposed Henry Tudor in battle, and lost both his crown and his life.)
