The first battle of St. Albanâs is over and the White Rose faction is victorious. They have captured Henry VI and, after having threatened him with violence, secured the kingâs promise of passing the crown to Edward Plantagenet after his death. Not willing to accept her sonâs disinheritance, Queen Margaret decides to take matters into her own hands and declares war on the Yorkists.
Margaretâs forces invade Wakefield Castle, home to the Duke of York and his sons, and successfully capture York. The queen and Clifford taunt York and eventually stab him to death. Yorkâs sons Edward and Richard receive news of their fatherâs death, vow to get their revenge, and plan to place Edward on the English throne.
