A Council of Regency is set up…

1454 CE

A Council of Regency is set up in April 1454, headed by the Duke of York, who still remains popular with the people, as Lord Protector.

York soon asserts his power with ever-greater boldness (although there is no proof that he had aspirations to the throne at this early stage).

He imprisons Somerset and backs his Neville allies (his brother-in-law, the Earl of Salisbury, and Salisbury's son, the Earl of Warwick), in their continuing feud with the Earl of Northumberland, a powerful supporter of Henry.
