In this episode, Matt Lewis and I explore the second half of Edward IV's reign, beginning with the decisive victory at Tewkesbury and the deaths of Henry VI and his son, Edward of Westminster. We examine the fate of Margaret of Anjou, the controversial execution of George, Duke of Clarence, Edward's diplomatic gamble with France, and the growing tensions that threatened the stability he had worked so hard to achieve. By the time Edward died unexpectedly in 1483 at just forty years old, he left behind a twelve-year-old heir, an uncertain political future, and a kingdom on the brink of another succession crisis. It was a reign that ended not with triumph, but with the seeds of one of England's greatest royal mysteries.
