The House of Gloucester was initially founded by Thomas of Woodstock 1st Duke of Gloucester. he only had one son, Humphrey who was sickly and died two years after his father was murdered. But what if Humprhey survived and continued the third Plantaganet cadet branch either as the Dukes of Gloucester, or more probably Buckingham as Thomas had an attainder on his lands. How would this change the Wars of the Roses? I am assuming that the war with France still goes the same in this scenario.

I'd assume that which ever side the House of Buckingham or Gloucester takes in the Wars of the Roses whether it is York or Lancaster wins.

Also if they survive to 1483 it reduces the chances of the Tudors taking the throne and maybe of Richard III usurping the throne.

What are your guys opinions and thoughts on this?
