In the calendar year sense, 1470 AD was part of the late medieval period in Europe. It is noted for the temporary restoration of Henry VI to the English throne during the Wars of the Roses, an event associated with the faction led by Warwick the Kingmaker. This period, sometimes called the Readeption of Henry VI, occurred after Warwick’s invasion of England and continued into 1471, when Edward IV regained the crown following subsequent battles. The events of 1470 contributed to the broader dynastic struggles shaping English history in the decade.

The year also sits in a broader historical context of 15th-century political and cultural developments across Europe, including shifts in feudal authority, ongoing conflicts, and the gradual changes leading toward the early modern era.
