| | George, Duke of Clarence |
 | | George, Duke of Clarence was the third son of Richard, Duke of York, and the brother of King Edward IV of England. |
 | | George was born on October 21, 1449 in Dublin, at a time when his father, having assumed the name Plantagenet to emphasize his descent from King Henry II of England, was beginning to challenge King Henry VI of England for the crown. |
 | | Warwick's efforts to return Henry VI to the throne having failed, and Warwick himself having been killed in battle, George was restored to the royal favour, but now saw his main rival as his younger brother, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who had married the widowed Anne Neville. |
