This is a restart of my Lancastrian England TL. I have been very disappointed in that TL and am changing the PoD to have a successful Lancastrian restoration.
----------
Lancastrian England 2.0
As Edward of York advanced towards London, he offered to challenge his rival the Earl of Warwick at Coventry*. Warwick, who outnumbered the Yorkists, accepted. Warwick and Edward lined up their armies on the Coventry plain. George, Duke of Clarence, agreed to support the Lancastrians and went to join Warwick's army**. Edward planned to defeat Warwick in a night attack before Clarence arrived. However, it rained heavily during the night. The two sides exchanged fire before preparing for battle. Edward decided to gamble his chances on a charge as Clarence was about to arrive. At dawn, the Yorkists charged. After causing initial chaos, Warwick rallied the Lancastrians. Edward's horse was stuck in the mud and the Yorkist leader was slain at the Battle of Coventry. The House of Lancaster had triumphed. Edward's brother, Richard of Gloucester, fled to Burgundy.
The news of the Yorkist defeat soon reached London. Warwick was master of the kingdom, though his position was disputed by Queen Margaret. Warwick was the father-in-law of Henry VI's heir, Prince Edward of Westminster. In 1480, Henry VI died and Edward of Westminster was crowned King Edward IV***, with his wife Lady Anne Neville.
*The PoD is that Warwick accepts and the decisive battle is at Coventry and not at Barnet.
**This is the second PoD as IOTL Clarence changed back to the Yorkists.
***The Lancastrians did not recognise the York reign as legitimate, of course.
