Possible issue

[edit]

I wonder about the inclusion of Richard Woodville, 1st Earl Rivers and William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (died 1469) and one or two others who were executed in 1469 as they were at the time of their deaths Yorkist supporters of King Edward IV, but were executed by the Neville faction which had broken from the King and had taken de facto rule of England. While technically they were executed during the reign of Edward (a Yorkist) their executions were against his wishes. Equally, although the Neville's had been Yorkists, within a year they would ally with the Lancastrians. I do wonder therefore if it is misleading to include the likes of Woodville and Herbert.
