  • Name George PLANTAGENET  [1, 2, 3] 
    • George Plantagenet, K.G., sixth but third surviving son, was born at Dublin Castle on 21 Oct. 1449. He was created Duke of Clarence by his brother King Edward IV on 28 Jun 1461. He was first summoned to Parliament on 28 Feb 1466/7.
      He joined his father-in-law in the rebellion against the King (his brother) in favour of the deposed King, Henry VI, but, changing sides, assisted in King Edward's victory at Barnet on 14 Apr 1471. In this battle his wife's father was slain whereupon he, 'in consideration of that his marriage', was created Earl of Warwick and Earl of Salisbury on 25 mar 1471/2, and on 20 May 1472 made Great Chamberlain of England. Isabel Neville died at Warwick Castle on 22 Dec 1476, and was buried at Tewkesbury. He proposed a second marriage with Mary, daughter of the Duke of Burgundy, a match which was much opposed by the Queen Consort. He was accused of high treason against his brother King Edward IV, found guilty, and attainted on 8 Feb 1477/8, whereby all his honours were forfeited. He was executed in the Tower aged twenty-eight in 18 Feb 1478, said to have been drowned in a butt of malmsey wine, and was buried in Tewkesbury Abby. [1]
