Henry VI dies in 1447

From what I've read Anne was quite ill before her death, so I imagine she'd likely still die young, unless butterlfies ensure her health improves rapidly. It is interesting that Salisbury only buddied up to York in the 1450s, one would've thought their shared familial connection through York's wife Cecily would've seen them ally sooner.

Family connections didn't always count for much, especially with the Nevilles considering how many of them there were (Salisbury had like 20 siblings and half-siblings)- so they were related to everybody. Salisbury' mother was a Beaufort, and the Lancastrian Duke of Buckingham and Earl of Northumberland (a freaking Percy!) were also among his brothers-in-law.
 
Ah this is very true. I wonder what else might convince Salisbury to side with York over the regency struggles. Perhaps a few favourable land grants?
