York Timeline and Summary

1.1: Poised to take over, York and his men enter London after defeating Henry. When Henry arrives, he and York argue over who should get the throne. They compromise and decide York gets it after Henry. Fair and square.
1.2: York's sons point out that Henry will probably die before York himself does. Translation: he will never get the throne. York decides to fight for the crown again, but before he gets the chance, he hears that Margaret and her troops are just about to arrive.
1.4: York realizes that his side will lose. He is captured by Margaret, Clifford, and Northumberland, which is bad news for him, because they've all got a personal bone to pick with him. They mock him with a fake crown, tell him of his son Rutland's death, and finally kill him.
