George, Duke Of Clarence, Succeeds Edward IV

Your task, should you accept it, is to have Clarence be King after Edward IV. You'd need to get rid of Edward's children, perhaps just do what Richard III did. Go ahead!
 
George Duke of Clarence

Not very likely. I can't see him rallying the anti-Woodville faction. He would have been very easily manipulated by Warwick the Kingmaker, but he was already dead. Then there is the problem of Richard.
 
Only really possible if Edward dies in the 1460s, and truthfully that opens up the possibility of a longer more successful Lancastrian recovery of the throne. If you have Elizabeth miscarry with Edward V (due to the panic of Edward having to flee to Burgundy say) and Edward die while in exile, you could get a very interesting scenario where George becoming the Yorkist heir while being allied to the Lancastrians which would almost definitely see him rebel but the question is do the Yorkists support him or do they support Richard?
