===Later claimants=== At the point [[Henry VII of England]] seized the throne there were eighteen Plantagenet descendants who might today be thought to have a stronger hereditary claim. By 1510 this number increased with the birth of sixteen Yorkist children.<ref name=Weir2008p148>{{harvnb|Weir|2008|p=148}}</ref> However, Henry VII married [[Elizabeth of York]] the eldest daughter of Edward IV. This made their children his [[cognatic]] heirs.<ref>{{harvnb|Starkey|2009|p=305}}</ref> [[Margaret of York|Margaret of York, Duchess of Burgundy]]{{mdash}}Edward's sister{{mdash}}and members of the de la Pole family{{mdash}}children of Edward's sister [[Elizabeth of York, Duchess of Suffolk|Elizabeth]] and [[John de la Pole, 2nd Duke of Suffolk]]{{mdash}} continued in attempts to restore a Yorkist line.<ref name="ODNBMoY">{{harvnb|Jones|2008|}}</ref> Margaret's nephew [[Edward Plantagenet, 17th Earl of Warwick|Edward, Earl of Warwick]], the son of her brother George, was imprisoned in the Tower of London, but in 1487 Margaret financed a rebellion led by [[Lambert Simnel]] pretending to be Warwick, or "Edward VI". [[John de la Pole, 1st Earl of Lincoln]], joined the revolt and was killed in the suppression of the uprising at the [[Battle of Stoke Field]] in 1487.<ref>{{harvnb|Horrox|2004|}}</ref> Warwick was implicated in further failed invasions supported by Margaret by [[Perkin Warbeck]] claiming to be Edward IV's son Richard of Shrewsbury and executed on 28 November 1499. With this both the houses of Plantagenet and York went extinct in the legitimate male line.<ref>Ulwencreutz, Lars. ''Ulwencreutz's the Royal Families in Europe V'' (2003), p. 202</ref>
