Either Elizabeth's first husband survives or she dies early, thus Edward is unable to marry her. What would happen then? Edward's popularity would not suffer so much as IOTL without his unequall marriage and without need to promote Elizabeth's relatives. I don't think Henry VI's readeption would be possible ITTL. King's conflict with Warwick should be avoided then. In such case would Edward's French marriage negotiated by Warwick happen? Relations with France would spoil anyway sooner or later. OTL history proved, that France would happily support claimants, that would cause troubles in England. Still, if proper relations between England and France could be maintained for at least few years, there would be no alliance between Edward IV and Charles the Bold during late 1460s and no Burgundian marriage of Margaret of York?
