Can I have a fun fact? :3
Fun fact: the Renaissance (in England) is said as starting in the year 1485, the year Henry VII came to the throne after defeating Richard III at Bosworth field.
The year is totally arbitrary as there weren’t any drastic changes that year, but by Henry VIII we were in the Renaissance so they had to pick a year.
Bonus: the War of the Roses did not end in 1485 with the Battle of Bosworth field, but rather in the year 1487, after the failed Lambert Simnel Rebellion
