Notes
1. Edward IV deposed Henry VI in 1461 but was deposed himself in 1470 before being restored the following year.

2. The Princes in the Tower, Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, were imprisoned by their uncle Richard, Duke of Gloucester (the future Richard III) in the Tower of London where they were presumably murdered. In 1674 the skeletons of two boys were found in the Garden Tower.

3. During the Reformation the bones of Richard III were dug up from Greyfriars Abbey and thrown in the nearby river Soar.
