Surviving House of York

What would be the most plausible POD to have the House of York win the Wars of the Roses and keep power? What changes would result from this?

My apologies if this has been done to death, or is considered ASB or whatever. I serched for threads on this topic and didn't find anything.
 
Certainly not ASB.

There are plenty of PODs that could have led to the survival of the Yorks, and there is a timeline out there that I think has the Yorks survive, but I'm not sure.

It had Richard III survive and win the battle of Bosworth fields...

I'll try and find it. It wasn't too old...

I'll go another route: take out Richard Neville once Edward is on the throne. Maybe he is arrested for treason before his rebellion. Not sure what happens then. Can Edward seize (part of) Neville's lands?
 
The house of york did win the wars of the roses - the failure if you accept it as such was internal the early death of Edward IV in 83.
The Nevilles were destroyed as a political force by their volte face during the readeption.
The 1470's effectively saw York as the victorious force with zero political challengers.
The early death of Edward IV and the minority of his son presented opportunities to the various factions in 1483 the principal of which were almost all Yorkist in attitude.. Woodville, Gloucester and Hastings.

You want a Yorkist victory and survival then ignore Gloucesters usurpation and have Edward IV live another few years - if he dies leaving an adult male heir then the likeliest result is dynastic survival - i am working on one at the moment though sure its been done before!
