Richard of York.

Richard of York, 3rd Duke of York (1411 - 1460), named Richard Plantagenet, claimant to the throne during the Wars of the Roses. On 10 October 1460, York arrived in London and took residence in the royal palace. Entering Parliament with his sword borne upright before him, he made for the empty throne and placed his hand upon it, as if to occupy it. He may have expected the assembled peers to acclaim him as king, as they had acclaimed Henry Bolingbroke in 1399. Instead, there was silence. Thomas Bourchier, the Archbishop of Canterbury, asked whether he wished to see the king.
