There is a far easier response for people who call Edward IV illegitimate: it is irrelevant. Even if Richard was not the father, Edward’s mother was a direct descendant of Lionel of Antwerp, son of Edward III. Therefore, he still had a valid claim that made him part of the royal family, even if it wasn't through his paternal side. Most importantly, he won his throne by Right of Conquest, which is the ultimate and most powerful decider. If you conquer a kingdom by force, you are the rightful king—just look at William the Conqueror."

a rushed baptism could literally just mean he was born premature and they didn't expect him to live long, so rushed to save his soul

solid agree on his grandfather being the illegitimate one. there's too many suspicious things around him. no mention in his father's will, the absurd closeness between his mother and captain playboy Holland, etc. just a lot of unspoken cuckolding going on in the royal family lol

yes "Proud Cis" would definitely go with an archer 😑 also wasn't Edward, Edmund and George said to have looked alike (as in handsome and tall) and Richard take more after his dad?

I would also think that his father would have been suspicious if he wasn't around at the time and Edward was full term... I don't think a man in line for the throne would allow his bloodline to be tainted like that...
