Who did Richard restore to the throne after his failed plot?

  • Edward IV

  • Richard, Duke of York

  • George, Duke of Clarence

  • Henry VI

Answer

The rightful heir to the English throne after Richard III's failed plot was Henry VI. He was a weak and ineffective king whose reign was marked by political instability and civil war. Richard had initially attempted to usurp Henry's throne but later sought to restore him in an effort to legitimize his own rule.
