He supported the [[York]]ist cause against the [[Lancaster|Lancastrian]] king [[Henry VI]] and was instrumental in Henry’s deposition and the accession of [[Edward IV]] to the throne in 1461 after which he received even more honours and virtual control of the north of England. Edward’s secret marriage to [[Woodville family|Elizabeth Woodville]] and the granting of honours and estates to her family brought a loss of influence and prestige to Warwick and a change of allegiance. His new-found support for Henry brought about the restoration of Henry to the throne in 1470 and the exile of Edward.
