George Plantagenet, Duke of Bedford survives

Regarding flight, Burgundy or maybe Calais are possibilities.

The one thing about an extra son is that it may be harder to justify disappearing three of them

Calais seems too dangerous; it's still English controlled, and OTL Richard was able to successfully siege Hammes when its commander defected to the Lancastrians in 1484; it took them several months, but that's still too close for comfort. Note that OTL, Blount (the commander in question) immediately fled with Oxford (his former prisoner) to join Henry Tudor; he presumably wouldn't do the same thing here, but it shows that he thought Calais too dangerous to hold out from. Brittany or France seem the only reasonable options (maybe Scotland, but that's opening another can of worms).

Three kids aren't much harder to "disappear" than two are; you lock them in the tower, and they are never seen again. Killing two was already a PR disaster; killing three won't make things any worse, really.
