next after Edward III, he advanced claims to the throne against King Henry VI and from Calais, where he had fled in 1459, returned to England in June 1460 to begin the struggle. He succeeded in having himself proclaimed king on 4 March 1461, definitively defeating his adversary in 1471, whom he had assassinated. From this moment he was able to reign unchallenged, accentuating his tendency toward absolute power. His claims to the throne of France were thwarted by Louis XI with the Treaty of Picquigny (1475).
