Edward IV - Wikipedia
Edward IV. The first Yorkist King of England. As the direct descenent of Edward III's son Lionel of Antwerp, he argued that his claim to the throne was stronger than that of the Lancastrian descendents of John of Gaunt. He deposed Henry VI in 1461, but lost the throne in 1470. He defeated the Lancastrians in the field and ruled again from 1471 until his death in 1483.
Edward III 1327-1377 Was a very successful king. He founded the Order of the Garter, which still exists today. His son the well known "Black Prince" died in battle, so his grandson Richard then became Richard II
