Carol: 
Right. Besides, Henry Tudor (Henry VII) was only a pseudo-Lancastrian
(I've already given his genealogy) who attempted (not altogether
successfully) to appease the Yorkists by marrying Elizabeth of York,
daughter of Edward IV, so his son Henry VIII did have Yorkist blood on
his mother's side. I doubt that her wishes were consulted in the
matter of her marriage, however. Together, the two Henrys managed to
execute almost all the remaining Yorkist heirs.

I'll forgive Geoff his affinities, though!

Carol, wishing that history could be altered and Richard III restored
to the throne, with Henry Tudor soundly and permanently defeated
