Could the Restoration of Henry VI Have Worked Long-Term Absent Edward IV?

If Edward IV had died in Flemish exile, could the conflicting interests of Warwick, Clarence, and the old Lancastrians have been successfully balanced by Margaret to ensure a permanent Lancastrian restoration?

Clarence just become the regent and heir to the throne according to the yorkist succession line.

Considering that and the fact the yorkist claimant is now a, relatively disposible, newborn child there is absolutely no way that Warwick and Clarence are gonna settle for what they got from Margaret.

Clarence want to be king, Warwick want a king as his grandsons and he his not calling the kingmaker for nothing. For both of them Clarence as George I is the ideal scenario (its what they tried to achieve when they emprisoned Edward IV earlier). They're is no way they're not gonna go for it when they are so close to achieve what they want.

But wold they be successful in their attempt to put George on the throne? Who would Edwardian Yorkists side with? Finally, are you quite sure that OTL's Edward V could be gotten rid of so easily? It seems that if it was that easy, Margaret would have done it in OTL.

Well, I assume they would go for a step-by-step approach. First they'l announce they fight for the boy Edward V, henceforth rallying the Edwardian yorkists and probably having the support of returning exiles from Flanders led by Gloucester.

Once they win, witch they probably will at this point, they have more men's and the two best commander in England in Warwick and Gloucester, then they will discretely take care of an Edward V who would be at their mercy once out of is church sanctuarry that saved his life OTL when the Lancastrian's where in power.

Edit: What could be interesting would be to know who Elizabeth of York, and to a lesser extent Mary or Cecily, would wed. Unless Warwick screw up big time and some proof of their disposition of Edward V would filter to the public, witch I dont seem him do, no one would be willing to fight for their rights to the throne right away. In a generation or two however, providing the yorkists stay in power, if one of the descendants of Clarence prove less then satisfactory you already have a precedent, created by the yorkists no less, that the male descendant of the female line of an elder brother can dethrone the descendant of the agnatic line of a younger brother.

Warwick's nephew George Neville Duke of Bedford (son of Montagu) was intended as a husband for one of Edward IV's elder daughters. Maybe that match goes through?

The best way to avoid domestic trouble in a few generations would be to go for a foreign match (Richard III obviously negotiated to marry Elizabeth to Manuel Duke of Beja IOTL).
 
George Plantagenet was born in the year 1449. Born in the city of Dublin, his birth matched a time when his father, Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, had begun to challenge Henry VI of England for the crown. The third of the four sons of Richard and Cecily who survived to adulthood, prospects for the young man looked somewhat bleak when his father died in 1460. But in 1461 his elder brother rose through battle to become Edward IV, King of England. In that year George was made Duke of Clarence and invested as a Knight of the Garter, and in 1462 Clarence received the Honour of Richmond, a lifetime grant, but without the peerage title of Earl of Richmond. Despite his youth, he was appointed as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in the same year.

In 1469 he married Isabel Neville, the elder daughter of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick. This was in preparation for their alliance against his brother, whom he had begun to resent and in that same year they drove King Edward out of England in hopes of placing Henry VI of England back on the throne. However, when news arrived in early 1470 that his brother had washed up on the shores of Flanders, dead, the plan changed. Within weeks the Lancastrian King and his son were dead and the Queen Elizabeth Woodville was brought back to court, where Elizabeth announced she was pregnant with what she was sure was the posthumous heir of her husband. And, for sure, on the 2nd of November, the healthy Edward V was born.

The regency was headed by George and the Earl of Warwick, but it all fell in late 1471, when the young King fell ill and died. Many suspected poison, including the Queen Dowager, who was forced into a convent shortly after. However, in lieu of a male heir, George claimed the throne, announcing that it was the wish of the dead King Edward IV. As the new King he was surprisingly generous to his nieces, who maintained their positions as senior ladies of the court. However, there was much unrest as to his succession and in 1472 the fully formed Richardian group formed, maintaining that George had killed the King (and maybe the other Edward, that part was never sure though) and thus had committed treason and his line was unfit for rule. His largest supporter was the Lord Thomas Stanley, who married Margaret Beaufort in 1473 and thus brought more support to Richard's cause.

The war waged on until the 12th of December, 1475, when the Battle of York was fought, as the city had supported the Richardian cause. This was a bloody day and 1,200 people were killed, including Richard Plantagenet, Duke of Gloucester, Thomas St. Leger, Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset and John de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk. The battle was decided by the actions of Thomas Stanley, who accepted an offer by George I of England to support him if he was allowed to bring his stepson, Henry Tudor, back to England have regranted his title as Earl of Richmond. The deal was sweetened by the promise that he would marry Cecily of York, who was yet unbetrothed.

George won much that year, but lost much the next. His queen, the popular Isabel Neville, died short after the birth of their second son Thomas. Made paranoid by this, George had the Lady Ankarette Twynyho executed for the murder of his Queen. This was declared ludicrous by many, but he was certain and thus the Lady Twynyho died. Now short a Queen, George quickly looked French-wards, and on the 17th of May 1477 he married Anne d'Orleans while his eldest niece Elizabeth married the Duke of Orleans, who later would rise to be Louis XII of France. However, George and Anne found they despised each other and after her third pregnancy in 1485 ended with another dead daughter, the two separated and spent as little time together as possible.

In 1488 he faced a second rebellion, this one under the man he had welcomed, Henry Tudor. An easy defeat for the King, the Earl of Richmond left only a single daughter, who died months later. His rebellious niece, who had readily supported her husband in the hopes of becoming Queen, was firstly sent to the Tower before joining her mother in a convent.

George I of England, Lord of Ireland and *titular* King of France died in 1498 of a stomach ache gone wrong (thought now to be bowel cancer) and was succeeded by his only surviving son Edward VI of England. He left his son both without challengers and without many allies. Edward would marry the Infanta Catarina of Aragon in 1500 to begin a new era of foreign policy, pushing for recognition of England's greatness.

Kudos for making such a fleshed-out scenario, but I don't think Clarence, as vain, scheming, and feckless as he was, could've outsmarted Warwick to go to the top. I think once they'd defeated the Lancastrians, George would try to arrest Warwick to achieve full power, Warwick would frame him for the death of Edward, acting as the innocent dupe, and George would die in battle or shorty thereafter. I don't know who Warwick would elevate to the purple, maybe Buckingham?​

Indeed, kudo on the scenario. I too agree that Warwick would have outsmarted George. I suspect he'd have arranged for Gloucester to takeover before arranging Richard III's successor.
 
Warwick maintained himself as the power behind the throne until his death in 1489. Didn't add that in because it got kinda rushed towards the end of writing it.
