How did Edward IV become king in 1461?
1460 Act of Accord, Richard Duke of York was to become king after

rule and not York.
While York was coming to an agreement on the act of accord.
Margaret was gathering an army in the north, joined by somerset and
Devon – who wanted to attract the sympathy of those being disinherited.
Attempts by Yorkist-dominated government to deal with this military
threat were ignored by those who controlled the north: Northumberland
and Clifford.
They were busy themselves attacking York and Neville properties there.
Early December 1460 York, Salisbury, and Rutland headed there to deal
with problems but while out hunting on 30 December they were
defeated by a Lancastrian force, York, Rutland, and Salisbury were killed
at Wakefield, which was led by Northumberland, somerset, and Clifford,
