In 30 December Richard Duke of York was confined to Sandal Castle in Yorkshire for 9 days while Lancastrian forces were 14 km away.
Richard decided to make a sortie and face the Lancastrian army without waiting for reinforcements but he was surrounded quickly and his army was annihilated.

WI Richard decided to stay in the castle waiting for his reinforcements to arrive (he had sent his son Edward for this cause).

How is a surviving Richard of York affects the Wars of the Roses? And if he was crowned King Richard III how his reign would look like? Any chances that he would be challenged by Lancastrians again in battle?
