In 1493 the impostor Perkin Warbeck attended the funeral of Frederic III Holy Roman Emperor in Vienna, where he was recognised as King Richard IV of England, at the invitation of Frederick III's son Maximilian I.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perkin_Warbeck#cite_note-0 Warbeck also promised that if he died before becoming king, his 'claim' would fall to Maximilian.
WI Warbeck died suddenly (or accidentaly) before he landed in England? Would Maximilian I hve claimed the English Crown as promised by (the fake) Richard IV? How possible is a war between England and HRE?
Any thoughts?
