We are in 1472, Edward regained his throne, Warwick died at Barnet and yet the legacy Neville is under the control of Yorks brothers. Richard has proven his loyalty and Edward knows he can count on him in any circumstance. He decides to entrust his son.
Do you think the new link between Richard and his nephew could prevent it from usurping the throne in June 1483 because of illegitimacy? Richard knew that Woodville is dangerous for him, he executed Rivers and Vaughan to protect himself.
In this scenario, Richard - by affection for his nephew - refuses to hear the allegations of Stillington. The future Edward V is the ward of Gloucester, the Woodville will not seize him to crown before Richard is knowledge of his office as Lord Protector. Edward V was crowned in july but but died one to two years later because of sepsis because he is suffering from dental osteomyelitis.
