| - In 1450, with help of the popular rebellion of Jack Cade and the noble Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, Richard of York took over as Richard III of England. He re-wrote the Magna Carta to have a Parliament with more powers and restore defitively the monarchy under his dynasty. He made exterminated the Lancasters and made peace with the last of them, John II of Castille, of House of Trastamara, by marring his daughter Anne with prince Henry of Castille. Then, he started a new policy, which objective was to avoid the negative effects of the war with France, by allying himself with Castille, Portugal, the Holy Roman Empire and the States of the Church. In 1452 the king agreed to call a meeting with Charles VII of France at Rouen to decide the final destiny of the war. Finally a peace treaty was signed with France and Scotland the next year, with England giving the whole Normandy (except for the offshore) to France, and giving Portugal the islans of Borhou, Ortac and Renonquet, though the english police still supervises and controls the commerce and military of the islands. In 1454 England joined Frederick V of Austria in his war against the pretender Albert VI and his allies. England also supported Brandenburg in its attempts to gain freedom from Luxemborug, a state supporting Albert VI, and the Grand Duchy of Bavaria in its own attempts to unify the bavarian territories. After a long war, Albert VI signed a treaty for which he obtained the Duchy of Tyrolia and Frederick III kept the throne of eastern Austria. Brandenburg did gain independence and Bavaria unified as one. King Richard III died in 1460 and was succeded for Edward IV.
