A quick trip to your local library will produce a wealth of excellent books on the subject. I’m pretty sure the librarian would be thrilled to help you select material. You can also find a treasure trove of online sources that cover the battle and histories of Richard III and Henry VII. Here are a few to get you started:

Encyclopaedia Britannica – Battle of Bosworth Field
House of Plantagenet on Wikipedia offers an extensive bibliography for those inclined to dive deep into history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Plantagenet
