In a fictitious timeline of England in the late 1930s, a civil war (which occurs roughly 450 years later than the historical event) ends with the Lancastrian King Henry and his son Prince Edward assassinated by Yorkist Field Marshal Richard, Duke of Gloucester. Richard's elder brother Edward becomes King. Richard is determined to take the crown, and pits King Edward against their other brother, George, Duke of Clarence, who is later imprisoned under a sentence of death.
