Another way to understand the House of York

This comparison, between Edward IV and his brothers and the Kennedy
clan, was suggested at the Norwich Study Day this afternoon:

EDWARD IV would be John Kennedy - very charismatic and with a fondness
for women but not quite a perfect achiever.
RICHARD III would be Robert - more serious and dutiful but finds life
harder.
GEORGE of Clarence would be Teddy - gregarious but with a drink problem
that caused his undoing.
EDMUND of Rutland would be Joseph jr. - an elder brother who died at an
early age in combat.
