1405: "[Constance of York] was brought before a great council at Westminster, where she denounced her brother Edward, duke of York, as instigator of the plot. When the duke denied his involvement she called for a champion, and an esquire, William Maidstone, challenged the duke to combat. York accepted, but at that point Thomas of Lancaster intervened and brother and sister were imprisoned."

1478: "...Then was to be witnessed a sad strife carried on between these two brethren [Edward IV and George of Clarence] of such high estate. For not a single person uttered a word against the duke, except the king ; not one individual made answer to the king except the duke."

GEORGE DUKE OF CLARENCE

GEORGE PLANTAGENET, DUKE OF CLARENCE

1449-1478

Brother of King Edward IV and Richard III, War of the Roses, was drowned in wine

George of Clarence was the son of Richard of York and Cecily Neville and was a claimant to the English throne. His brother Edward IV reigned from 1460-1483, and George was heir to the throne.

During Edward IV’s reign, George was jealous, impatient, and power-hungry. The Earl of Warwick ‘Warwick the Kingmaker’ influenced George in 1468 to rebel against Edward IV and told him he wanted him on the throne instead. George was married to Warwick’s daughter Isabel. However, Warwick actually wanted to replace Edward IV with the previous king, Henry VI. Henry VI’s son Edward the ‘Prince of Wales’ was married to Warwick’s daughter, Anne.

Warwick’s plan was successful, but not for long. In, 1471, Edward IV went into battle to gain his throne back, knowing he was losing the battle, George quickly deflected back to his brother’s side after he fell out with Warwick. During the battle, Prince Edward died and Warwick was defeated and killed, Henry VI was murdered in mysterious circumstances.

George had been in a continual rivalry with his younger brother Richard and tensions arose when Edward IV awarded Richard for remaining loyal to him. Richard wanted to marry Anne Neville, Warwick’s daughter who was incredibly wealthy. George attempted to prevent this by hiding her in his kitchen and dressing her up as a kitchen maid. Richard discovered her and married her.

In 1476, George’s wife Isabel died after giving birth to their son and George unfairly accused one of her servants of poisoning her. After a trial; the servant was found guilty and hanged after George had compelled the hasty judgment.

George continued to scheme against his brother and spread rumors that Edward IV was a bastard and had no claim to the throne. George who was behaving irrationally was arrested, imprisoned in the Tower of London, and charged with high treason.

George denied the charges; however he was executed on 18 February 1478 by drowning in a barrel of wine; at his own request, as he loved to drink.

Edward IV died of an illness in 1483, and the throne went to his heir and son Edward V, Richard III snatched the throne from him and Edward V and his younger brother disappeared (most likely murdered). Richard III lost his throne during battle and King Henry VII became the first Tudor monarch.

If there is love enough, then nothing - not nature, not even death itself - can come between two who love each other. The SONS OF YORK will destroy each other, one brother destroying another, uncles devouring nephews, fathers beheading sons. THE WHITE QUEEN (2013)

RICHARD: Three glorious suns, each one a perfect sun; ... EDWARD: 'Tis wondrous strange, the like yet never heard of. I think it cites us, brother, to the field, That we, the sons of brave Plantagenet, Each one already blazing by our meeds, Should notwithstanding join our lights together And over-shine the earth as this the world. Whate'er it bodes, henceforward will I bear 665 Upon my target three fair-shining suns.

On this day in history, March 4th, in 1821, Princess Elizabeth of Clarence died of an intro-susception of the bowels. She was a little over two months old, and was the daughter of the future William IV and Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen.

She had been born prematurely, and was quickly baptized the day of her birth. She was christened Elizabeth Georgina Adelaide, with the initial choice of her parents being the name Georgina. Her uncle, George IV, wanted her to be called Elizabeth instead so Georgina would become her second name.

Her parents had already suffered the loss another daughter, Charlotte, who died on the day of her birth, and a miscarriage. Two years after Elizabeth’s death, Adelaide gave birth to stillborn twin boys, and possibly had another miscarriage that same year. Ultimately, they had no surviving children and when William died, the throne passed to his niece, Queen Victoria.

The Wars of the Roses: Queen of the Sun in Splendour

The Wars of the Roses: Queen of the Sun in Splendour is my MA graduation project. This comic wants to explore the status of medieval women and to study some of the historical events of England's longest civil war. This work combines fiction, history and fantastic elements, which were transposed with the help of tarot cards. This comic is my personal project, which can be considered as a study on elements such as worldbuilding and storytelling.

At the moment I was forced to limit myself to a very small part of the subject. I really hope that in the future, I will be able to build a much more elaborate and long-lasting comic on this subject. :)

For those interested, you can read the comic here.

I hope you will like it. ^.^

The duke of Clarence before-named, brother to king Edward (IV), had been fully reconciled to the king by the mediation of his sisters, the duchesses of Burgundy and Exeter (Margaret of York and Anne of York), of whom, the one without the kingdom, and the other within it, entreated the duke to make peace with his brother."

“Average person trash talks Stuco President Clarence 3 times every day” factoid actually just statistical error. Average person trash talks Clarence 0 times per day. His assistant, William, who trash talks him over 1000 times each day is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
