The Stanleys creating a semi dynasty in this scenario would be interesting,as is the idea of Francis being elected as King of England before becoming King of France.It's a more out there possibility, but I can't help but wonder whether this ends up leading to a Polish-style elective monarchy in England, especially if it turns out Warwick actually is mentally incapable (or at least sufficiently unsocialised to appear so) and Lincoln is either unwilling or unable to secure the throne.

If he is massively unsocialised on top of being ten, maybe the elder Elizabeth is 'arranging' things 'on his behalf' for a good chunk of his reign?
