on of George, Duke of Clarence and Isabel Neville. Edward was nephew of Richard III and his title was the Earl of Warwick and potential heir to the English throne. At the age of ten, after Richard III's defeat at Bosworth by Henry VII, Edward was arrested and taken to the Tower of London. Although Edward's claim the throne was slender, he was still a threat to Henry VII. In 1487, a couple of years after Edward's arrest, a man called Lambert Simnel appeared in Ireland claiming that he was Edward, Earl of Warwick. The Irish supported the claim and crowned Simnel as Edward VI in Dublin. A small invasion force from Ireland landed on the Lancashire coast, but Henry was prepared and the two armies met at Stoke on 16th of June. The fight could have gone either way but Henry's army won the battle and Lambert Simnel was captured. King Henry did not blame Simnel and let him work in the royal kitchens. In 1499 Edward was found guilty of treason and plotting to escape from the Tower of London with Perkin Warbeck, another prisoner. Edward was executed and the male line of the House of Plantagenet came to an end.
