Original sentence: (Eleanor Talbot had done the same thing Elizabeth Woodville did later: a widow who caught Edward's eye, she refused to give in to him until he promised to marry her.) This information came to the fore when a former bishop, Robert Stillington, testified that he had carried out the ceremony.Elizabeth and her other children were in sanctuary again, fearing for their safety.Following Henry's accession in 1485, Elizabeth Woodville's children by Edward IV were once again legitimised (because Henry wanted his wife to be the Yorkist heir to the throne, to cement his hold on it).In desperation, she agreed to a betrothal between her eldest daughter, Elizabeth of York, and the Lancastrian claimant to the throne, Henry Tudor, later Henry VII of England.On the basis of his evidence, all Elizabeth's children by Edward, including Edward V of England, were declared illegitimate, and her brother-in-law, Richard III of England, assumed the crown and placed the two princes in the Tower of London.The elder, Edward, had been born in the sanctuary at Westminster Abbey in 1470, during the brief period when Edward IV was in exile during the Wars of the Roses.This may have been because they expected reprisals from the new king, or may equally have been to protect themselves against jealous courtiers who wanted their own back on the entire Woodville clan
