John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln (1462/1464 – 16 June 1487), was the eldest son of John de la Pole, 2nd Duke of Suffolk and Elizabeth of York. His mother was the sixth child and third daughter born to Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York and Cecily Neville.
Heir to the throne
During the last year of the reign of his maternal uncle King Richard III, he was designated heir to the throne. [Kendall pp. 349-50, although Ross, p. 158, doubts it] In addition, he was given revenues of about 500 pounds a year, and was appointed king's lieutenant in Ireland and president of the Council of the North. [Ross 159]
After Richard's defeat at the Battle of Bosworth Field on 22 August 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's life came to an end 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.
His death did not end the de la Pole claim to the throne. His younger brother Edmund de la Pole, 3rd Duke of Suffolk became the leading Yorkist claimant to the throne until his execution by orders of Henry VIII of England in 1513. Their younger brother Richard de la Pole continued their claim until his own death at the Battle of Pavia (24 February 1525).
