turned out differently? What if York had been able to secure political power in the 1450s without removing Henry VI or his son, or he had not been killed by the Queenâs men in 1460? What if Edward IV had never broken with Warwick, been deposed or killed by him in 1469â70, or had failed to regain power in 1471? What if Edward had not unexpectedly died in 1483, his sonâs advisers had fought off the challenge of Duke Richard of Gloucester, or Richard had won the battle of Bosworth? This study seeks to explore some of these very real possibilities.
