Did Edward IV of England have a legitimate claim on the English throne?

why has this not be answered yet? its obvoius! yes he did coz he was Henry's only male heir!! build a bridge and get over it!

Not so fast hombre, what dose hereditary right have to do with a family that usurped the throne? Burn the bridge. The question of legitimacy is valid since Henry iv ended the hereditary line, he stole the throne; o wee Edi had as much right as you local butcher. True story.

He was the only heir to the throne, so i will build that bridge again and you will go over it because you know I'm right.
