REASON?
Richard III might have chosen this terrain because he was an enthusiast for artillery and on this flat ground it could be used to the best effect. But Henry's troops simply maneuvered, behind the protection of the marsh, to attack the flank of Richard's army and so avoid the heavy artillery fire.
