edward of westminster

Things look bleak for Edward of Westminster even if he escapes Tewkesbury. His mother Margaret of Anjou and his wife Anne Neville are imprisoned by the Yorkists. The Yorkist regime is safe as with an obvious Lancastrian claimant Gloucester would not risk usurpation. How could Edward of...

King Edward V of England (1470-1542) and Queen Mary of Lancaster (1470-1545) "On December 8, 1470, on the day of the Immaculate Conception, Anne Neville, wife of the late Prince of Wales, Edward of Westminster, gave birth to a girl who was named Mary, heiress of the house of Lancaster. The young...

What if Warwick‘s first rebellion failed and so the Readeption of Henry VI never happened? And then Edward IV had bad luck with his sons and so Elizabeth remained her father’s heiress presumptive marrying eventually Edward of Lancaster?

December 30th 1460: The Battle of Wakefield has just ended. It has been a disaster for the Yorkists, with their leader, Richard of York falling alongside his close ally the Earl of Salisbury. York’s son, Edmund flees from the Battle, with a vengeful Baron, John Clifford in pursuit. For a moment...

The Bull and the Roses Timeline of a Lancastrian victory at Barnet On 14 April 1471, the Battle of Barnet took place between the Lancastrians, led by the Earl of Warwick against the Yorkists, led by King Edward IV. Resulting in the defeat of the supporters of Henry VI, and the death of...

A what if in honour of Edward of Westminster’s birthday: In OTL prior to the Readeption, there were negotiations for Edward of Westminster to return to England and marry Elizabeth of York and become the co-heir of Edward IV. Of course this didn’t happen and instead Edward would die at the...

The title says it all. Edward of Westminster manages to escape the Battle of Tewkesbury with a few soldiers/retainers, and meets with his Tudor Uncle and Cousin in Wales. They then flee England and manage to reach France. Now what? I’d imagine some Lancastrian nobles like Oxford would attempt to...

Wait, I thought you were doing a timeline about Richard III? I was, but a combination of writer's block (an unholy demon, it should be mentioned) and loss of interest has sadly slayed that project. Sorry to anyone who was looking forward to that project, I did have a good few ideas for that...

Say, that Yolande, sister of Margaret of Anjou, happens to be barren, and that their nephew Nicholas dies a bit earlier than IOTL (before 1471). That would make Edward of Westminster heir to Duchy of Lorraine (his aunt Yolande still lived, but as I've mentioned she's childless widow here)...

The POD is that in 1471 Henry Tudor gets killed in battle and dies without descendence instead of Edward of Lancaster who instead flies to Brittany with his mother, so what happens if that scenario happens what Edward IV will do??? IDT that Edward will be indulgent as it was for Tudor with...

What if Anne Neville became pregnant during her wedding to Edward of Westminster and gave birth to a daughter after his death?

What if Edward IV and Richard, Duke of Gloucester had fallen in battle against the Lancastrians, but still got the last laugh against the Nevilles as Anne Neville will die childless and Edward of Westminster remarried to Elizabeth of York, the eldest of the two surviving daughters of Edward IV...

Just as the title says, this plays around with the idea that the son of Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou, Edward of Westminster (b. 1453), has Edward IV's personality whereas Richard, 3rd Duke of York and Cecily Neville's son, Edward, Earl of March/Edward IV (b. 1442), has Edward of Westminster's...

When Edward advanced on Somerset at Tewkesbury, say he was struck by an arrow, either from his own men or the enemy, and died. Due to the hidden cavalry, Somerset's force will still get beaten and the Duke killed. Clarence was with the King but he manages to survive. However, the battle truly...

How much of a difference would make if Battle of Tewkesbury would have end with a complete victory of House of Lancaster instead? Any long lasting effects on English monarchy and future succesion system?

I have to reread and read more about the major players before I start a timeline but I wanted to solicit some advice and input specifically on how a successful Lancastrian regime in the 1470s would deal with the messy issue of rewarding followers and punishing dissidents. [Even more input...

Inspired by discussion about stability of England during regencies in my thread about Princes in the Tower early death. Say Henry VI's mentall breakdown lead him to jump out of window or eat broken glass during early April, 1454. Richard of York is Protector of the Realm from few days, Somerset...

Something I've seen a thread on twice now is the idea of Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales, marrying Isabel I, Queen of Castile. Would this have been possible? Or even plausible? And what might the effects of said match be on the world? No Catholic monarchs, for one (the idea of Fernando V...
