Wars Of The Roses: Lancastrians Win The Battle Of Barnet

I have a new TL idea that Warwick wins at Barnet and Edward IV is killed. This safeguards the throne for Henry VI and the inheritance for prince Edward. What next?
 
Do all 3 brothers of York die? Do the Lancastrians kill the infant Prince Edward?

Even then there are still potential Yorkists heirs to stir up trouble later on. Warwick almost definitely splits from the Lancastrian party at some point, taking Montagu and his other supporters with him. This is of course unless Anne can exercise a surprising amount of influence with the Prince of Wales to make her father chief minister, something the Lancastrians such as Somerset probably wont be happy with. I definitely think in this scenario we haven't seen the end to the dynastic squabbling, but look forward to hearing your take on it :)
 
Maybe they could start to regroup in the south west or Wales and then take it for there. See if they could get anyone else to side with them. Do they have enough money to hire troops?
 
Here's my idea:
Gloucester and Clarence survive and flee. They plot to take the throne but are foiled.
Warwick switches back to the Yorkists and is defeated and killed.
Edward of Westminster gets the throne, but Queen Margaret holds the real power.

Why in the world would Warwick switch sides here? His daughter was the future Queen of England and he would enjoy the confidence of young Edward of Westminster. I can see Gloucester and Clarence fleeing, probably to Burgundy, but just no to Warwick switching sides. Though he would definitely become a rival to Queen Margaret.

What would happen to Edward IV's children? The first three York Princesses and the future Edward V had already been born and were at that point in Sanctuary in Westminster. So would they be imprisoned? Married off? Kept as hostages?

Why not just kill them off? The Yorkists are beaten but their heirs still pose a threat to the House of Lancaster.
