I am beginning to start some early research on the War of the Roses with the goal of eventually creating a TL about a successful Lancasterian Restoration. I am intrigued about the ramifications of a Lancaster victory in 1470/1471. As a result I have grown more intrigued about Edward of Westminster, the only Prince of Wales to die in battle.
In OTL, Prince Edward of Westminster was married in 1470 to Warwick the Kingmakers daughter Anne Neville. The intent of the marriage was to solidify this alliance against Edward IV and restore the Lancasters. I, however, feel as if Warwick had already burned to many bridges in Edward IV's court and was effectively already dependent upon the Lancasters. Thus I view this marriage as a missed opportunity for the Lancasters to secure a Foriegn alliance.
Who are some potential brides for Edward and how would that marriage alliance effect Lancaster efforts to regain control of England?
