Been working on a timeline where Edward IV dies shortly after the Battle of Tewkesbury, leaving an infant Edward V as his heir. Just wondering what would happen next? Regents I have considered are
CP11
- George, Duke of Clarence - Edward IV's younger brother would seem a natural choice if not for his prior rebellions against the King and his desire for the throne
- Richard, Duke of Gloucester - Edward IV's youngest brother who has been loyal to the crown so far and played an important roll in the recent Yorkist victories, but is only 19 and inexperienced in state matters
- Elizabeth Woodville - Edward IV's wife and mother to the new baby King. Her family are seen by some as upstarts and she may struggle to secure support for her regency
CP11
