While I was a staunch Lancasterian up to Henry VI's death I admit I am relieved York won, here, if not, England would have known more war. He is striving to be a good king, and he would have left orphans and a widow.
Doubtfull, the capital was solidly in Yorkist hands.Well, I suppose that if Edward won, Meg B could organize defense of London, but I don't know whether she could hold it - if Edmund died in a battle, that could be too much and make population ill-disposed towards the Yorkists, so it might very well end up with "Princes in The Tower v. 0.5" and Thomas and Richard being killed by angry mob, thus leaving England with no war.
