Biography
Edward (York) Plantagenet is a member of the House of York.
Edward of Middleham was the only son and heir of Richard Duke of Gloucester (later King Richard III of England) and his wife Anne Neville. He was born in 1476 at Middleham Castle, Yorkshire. On 15 February 1478, he was given the title Earl of Salisbury, forfeited by his paternal uncle George Duke of Clarence, and previously held by his great-grandfather Richard Neville. [1]
Following his father's usurpation of the Crown in 1483, Edward was invested as Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, and Earl of Cheshire on 8 September at York Minster. He was also named Lieutenant of Ireland. [2]

On 9 April 1484, the Prince of Wales died at Middleham Castle, following a short illness. [1]The Croyland Chronicle stated he was, "seized with an illness of but short duration, and died at Middleham Castle, in the year of our Lord, 1484, being the first of the reign of the said king Richard. On hearing the news of this, at Nottingham, where they were then residing, you might have seen his father and mother in a state almost bordering on madness, by reason of their sudden grief."[4]
His burial place has not been discovered.

Most of the descendants of Richard of York are called 'of York' instead of 'Plantagenet'. isn't it therefore more logical to take as LNAB 'of Middleham'?
