During the last year of the reign of his maternal uncle King Richard III , he was designated heir to the throne, being Richard's closest adult male relative in the Yorkist line. After Richard's defeat at the Battle Of Bosworth Field on August 22 , 1485 , Lincoln was reconciled with the new king, Henry VII , but soon became impatient for power and tried to achieve it by supporting the claims of the boy pretender, Lambert Simnel . Lincoln was killed at the Battle Of Stoke in 1487 , at which the rebel army was defeated, and he was killed. In November 1487, he was posthumously attainted.
