So, I've seen this talked about a lot, but I'm not sure there's ever been a consensus reached, so I'm going to try and achieve one.
In the event that both Richard III and Henry Tudor die at the Battle of Bosworth, who do you think would become the next King?
Your choices are:
1. Edward, Earl of Warwick: Reasons, technically with Edward IV's children proclaimed bastards, and with Richard III dead without legitimate issue, and with his father's attainder only applying to the Duchy, he is technically the rightful King. However, he is a child, which would require a regency, and had his development stunted by mismanagement.
2. John de La Pole: Seems after his own son died, Richard considered his nephew his heir, and even gave him the monies from the Duchy of Cornwall-something that would seemingly confirm this- however, I don't think he was in London, and was somewhere else when Bosworth happened and he's quite distant from the throne.
3. Elizabeth of York: Eldest surviving child of Edward IV, nothing says women can't inherit the throne. However, the issue of her legitmacy hangs over her.
4. Someone else.
These are the choices I can see, I'm fascinated to see who you all choose.
