George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Bedford
George of York, 1st Duke of Bedford( March 1477 – March 1479) was the eighth child and third son of Edward IV of England and Elizabeth Woodville.
He was a younger brother of Elizabeth of York, Mary of York, Cecily of York, Edward V of England, Margaret Plantagenet, Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York and Anne of York.
He was also an older brother of Catherine of York and Bridget of York.
He was born in Windsor Castle in March 1477, and was created Duke of Bedford in infancy, probably in 1478, after the former holder of the title, George Neville, was deprived of the title by act of Parliament, ostensibly for lack of money to maintain the style of a duke.
He was appointed the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1478, one of a series of nominal and largely absent lieutenants.
George died aged two.
This is considered likely to have been due to an outbreak of bubonic plague.
He was buried in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on March 22, 1479.
Margaret of York (1472)
Margaret of York( 10 April 1472 – 11 December 1472) was a namesake niece of Margaret of York, Duchess of Burgundy.
She was the fifth child and fourth daughter of Edward IV of England and Elizabeth Woodville.
She was a younger sister of Elizabeth of York, Mary of York, Cecily of York and Edward V of England and older sister of Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York, Anne of York, George Plantagenet, Duke of Bedford, Catherine of York and Bridget of York.
She was born in Winchester Castle but died of natural causes eight months later.
She was buried in Westminster Abbey.
Margaret's sarcophagus was originally placed to fit in the steps of the shrine of St. Edward the Confessor, but it was moved to the edge of the chapel at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries.
The step edging around the sides can, however, still be seen.
An annotated history of the Abbey in the Abbey's library states that the lid was removed in more modern times and the sarcophagus found to be empty.
The monumental brass originally on the top of Margaret's tomb is long since missing, but the original wording around the edge and on the surface plaque was recorded historically.
Bridget of York
Bridget of York( 10 November 1480 – 1517) was an English princess, the tenth child and seventh daughter of Edward IV of England and Queen Elizabeth Woodville.
She was the youngest sister of Elizabeth of York, Mary of York, Cecily of York, Edward V, Margaret of York, Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York, Anne of York, George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Bedford, and Catherine of York.
She was also an aunt of Henry VIII of England.
She was born in Eltham, London on 10 November 1480, and was baptised by Edward Story, Bishop of Chichester on 11 November 1480.
Her godmothers at the baptismal fount were her paternal grandmother, Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, and her oldest sister, Elizabeth of York.
Her godfather was William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester.
Bridget's aunt Margaret, Lady Maltravers, served as her godmother at her confirmation.
Bridget was likely named after St. Bridget of Sweden.
Her parents may have decided at the time of her birth that this daughter would be dedicated to a religious life, and Princess Bridget was entrusted to Dartford Priory, Dartford, Kent sometime between 1486 and 1492.
She became a nun.
Bridget maintained correspondence throughout her life with her sister Elizabeth of York, who also paid for her various minor expenses, as well as minor expenses of the orphaned Agnes of Eltham.
After Bridget's sister, Elizabeth of York, married Henry VII, Elizabeth paid some of Bridget's expenses and kept in touch with her via messengers.
Bridget is known to have left Dartford on at least one occasion, when she attended the funeral of her mother, Elizabeth Woodville, in 1492.
She died about 1517.
Theodred II (Bishop of Elmham)
Theodred II was a medieval Bishop of Elmham.
The date of Theodred's consecration unknown, but the date of his death was sometime between 995 and 997.
Elizabeth of York
Elizabeth of York (11 February 1466 – 11 February 1503) was the first queen consort of England of the Tudor dynasty from 18 January 1486 until her death, as the wife of Henry VII.
She married Henry in 1485 after his victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field, which marked the end of the Wars of the Roses.
Together, Elizabeth and Henry had seven, possibly eight, children.
After the death of her father, King Edward IV, Elizabeth's brothers
the "Princes in the Tower" disappeared, their fate uncertain.
Although the 1484 act of Parliament "Titulus Regius" declared the marriage of her parents, Edward and Elizabeth Woodville, invalid, she and her sisters were subsequently welcomed back to court by Edward's brother, King Richard III.
As a Yorkist princess, the final victory of the Lancastrian faction in the War of the Roses may have seemed a further disaster, but Henry Tudor knew the importance of Yorkist support for his invasion and promised to marry Elizabeth before he arrived in England.
This may well have contributed to the hemorrhaging of Yorkist support for Richard.
Although Elizabeth seems to have played little part in politics, her marriage appears to have been a successful one.
Her eldest son Arthur, Prince of Wales, died at age 15 in 1502, and three other children died young.
Her second, and only surviving, son became King Henry VIII of England, while her daughters Mary and Margaret became queen of France and queen of Scotland, respectively; many modern royals, including Elizabeth II, trace their line through Margaret.
Elizabeth of Celje
Elizabeth of Celje( 1441 – 1455), also Elizabeth of Cilli, was the first wife of Matthias Corvinus, the future King of Hungary.
Edward IV of England
Edward IV (28 April 1442 – 9 April 1483) was King of England from 4 March 1461 to 3 October 1470, and again from 11 April 1471 until his death.
His father, Richard of York, leader of the Yorkist faction, was a lineal descendant of Edward III and until 1453, heir presumptive to Henry VI, from the ruling House of Lancaster, or Lancastrians.
Less than a year old when he came to the throne in September 1422
, Henry's minority was marked by political infighting within the Regency council.
After 1437, he ruled in his own right but his weak and indecisive personality did little to mitigate factional conflict.
Shortly after the birth of his son Edward of Westminster in 1453, Henry suffered a complete mental breakdown and the government descended into chaos.
Conflict between Yorkists and Lancastrians led to civil war in 1455.
This continued intermittently until 1485 and is collectively known as The Wars of the Roses.
After Richard was executed in December 1460, Edward became head of the family; with the support of the Earl of Warwick, or 'The Kingmaker', he deposed Henry and was crowned king in June 1461.
Divisions developed after Edward's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville in 1464; Warwick switched sides in 1470 and restored Henry to the throne.
Edward fled to Flanders, but returned to England in March 1471, winning victories at Barnet in April and Tewkesbury in
May. Warwick, Henry's heir Edward of Westminster and other senior Lancastrians were killed, while Henry died in the Tower of London a few days later.
England remained relatively peaceful until Edward's death in 1483.
His two minor sons, Edward and Richard were subsequently declared illegitimate by his younger brother, the Duke of Gloucester, who became Richard III.
