All classes of the nobility soon grew to hate him with a common and bitter hatred, because they recog- nized in him the enemy of their order and saw that every move he made tended to de- stroy their power. He was fighting the battle of crown and people against the feudal system of petty tyrants, and the nobles, who saw po- litical and military ruin advancing upon them, rose against the King who led the march. They raised a rebellion under Buckingham and failed. They took breath, set up a claim-... ant to the throne, supplied him with forces, and then, by treachery, wrecked the royal THE LAST PLANTAGENET 79 army at Bosworth and slew their foe. It was their last effort; they were exhausted, and, although they had changed kings, they had not changed royalty or checked the movement of the time. The feudal system fell at Bosworth with the King who had given it its death-blow and marked out the road for his successor to follow.
