June 1461 CE

Edward IV's official coronation takes place in June 1461 in London, where he receives a rapturous welcome from his supporters; he will be able to rule in relative peace for ten years.

After Edward’s ascension, members of the Percy family, who have supported the Lancastrian king against his Yorkist rival, lose their earldom and estates.

Edward’s nine-year-old brother becomes the Duke of Gloucester.

Warwick, in supporting York’s son in his successful bid for the throne, and because of his great wealth and power, becomes known as the Kingmaker.
