parliament held at Coventry in November 1459.
Here the Lancastrians consolidated their victory they had at ludford
bridge.
Here the Yorkists leaders were attained for treason and sentenced to
death.
They went even further and disinherited their heirs.
Yorkists lands then given to loyal subjects of the king.
Maragret was going too far, and actions worried a vast majority of the
nobility.
They were worried she could also do this to them.
What was the result of Margaret actions?
In punishing York harshly, she created York the enemy she pictured; a
man trying to derive her son of his inheritance.
She did this exactly to York’s heir, Edward.
When Warwick, Salisbury and march landed in Kent in June 1460 many
of the men in Kent rose in support of them and on July 2, 1460.
