the plantagenet alliance is a grouping of 15 individuals who claim to be "collateral [non-direct] descendants" of richard iii, and have been described as a "ricardian fan club". the group unsuccessfully campaigned during 2013 and 2014 to have richard re-interred at york minster rather than leicester cathedral, believing that that was his wish. during the campaign, the group failed to attract enough support to petition parliament.
