===House of York===
{{Main|House of York}}
The House of York claimed the right to the throne through Edward III's second surviving son, [[Lionel of Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence|Lionel of Antwerp]], but it inherited its name from Edward's fourth surviving son, [[Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York|Edmund of Langley]], first [[Duke of York]].

The [[Wars of the Roses]] (1455–1485) saw the throne pass back and forth between the rival houses of Lancaster and York.
