WI: The black prince lives?

Black Prince

This has come up before. He was strongly in favor of continuing the war with France, although resources were limited and the English were becoming very weary of it. Had he perhaps reigned for about 10 years, his son Richard would have come to the throne as an adult.
 
For Richard II, one of his indictments against his deposition was:
He imposed very heavy burdens of taxation on his subjects in nearly every year of his reign.
If Edward of Woodstock had become King Edward IV, there may have been less years of heavy taxation.
