If Henry Tudor had lost the battle as would have been only right and proper, that wretched Holinshed would never have written his scurrilous histories. The modern would would not be saddled with ham actors playing mad scientist's assistants as kings, not to mention kiss up baptism scenes.
We might have been given more historically accurate depictions of proper Plantagenet royalty putting down rebellions from certain upstarts.
The French would still probably have complaints about Joan of Arc's depiction as a witch, but there's no pleasing some people.
