Back to the Houses Of Lancaster And York calendar
If you been following the previous two snippets I bet you're excited. Anyway, Warwick may well have been a good Kingmaker but he wasn’t a good King substitute. He made the mistake of declaring war on the Duke of Burgundy who immediately offered Edward all the help he could and Edward came back to England in 1471 beat Warwick at a battle at Barnet, where Warwick was killed, and then completely routed the House of Lancaster at another battle at Tewksbury, where Edward, Prince of Wales and son and heir to Henry VI and not to be confused with Edward IV, was killed. Henry then conveniently died a fortnight later, which put a stop to his singing, dancing, laughing madness. Edward IV was King of England again. It was then a bit quiet for 12 years.
