Agnes of Eltham( 1498 – 1530) was an English woman, allegedly the illegitimate daughter of Princess Bridget of York.
Agnes of Eltham, later Agnes Langstroth, was an orphan and ward of the Dartford Priory in Dartford, Kent.
Agnes left the Priory in 1514 and married Adam Langstroth( 1490- 1549), the head of a landed family in Yorkshire( the ancestral home of the Yorks and refuge of York loyalists in the early Tudor period) with' a considerable dowry'.
She had at least one son, Christopher Langstroth.
Agnes was an orphan and ward of the Dartford Priory in Dartford, Kent at a time when the Priory was also the home of Princess Bridget of York, younger sister to Elizabeth, queen consort to Henry VII and daughter of Edward IV of England and Elizabeth Woodville, who patronized Agnes by providing for her financial needs until her death in 1503.
Christopher Topham
Christopher Topham, member of Parliament for York( died 1670), was the son of York merchant and Sheriff for the city of York Christopher Topham and his wife Ann, a daughter of Percival Levett, merchant of York and also formerly a Sheriff for the city of York.
Topham was married to Susan Micklethwait, daughter of Elias Micklethwait, York merchant and member of Parliament as well as twice the mayor of York.
Topham was elected an alderman for the city of York after the execution of King Charles I. Topham served as Sheriff for York in 1647, and in 1660 was Lord Mayor of York.
He was elected to Parliament in 1659, and was able to remain in office after the purge of 1662.
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.
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.
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.
Bridget of Sweden
Bridget of Sweden( c. 1303 – 23 July 1373); born as Birgitta Birgersdotter, also" Birgitta of Vadstena", or" Saint Birgitta", was a mystic and saint, and founder of the Bridgettines nuns and monks after the death of her husband of twenty years.
Outside of Sweden, she was also known as the" Princess of Nericia" and was the mother of Catherine of Vadstena.
( Though normally named as" Bridget of Sweden", she was not a member of Swedish royalty.)
She is one of the six patron saints of Europe, together with Benedict of Nursia, Saints Cyril and Methodius, Catherine of Siena and Edith Stein.
Bridget of Fiesole
St. Bridget of Fiesole is an Irish Saint whose festival is celebrated in Italy on February 1.
Cecilia Ulvsdotter
Cecilia Ulvsdotter( d. 12 March 1399), was a Swedish noblewoman.
She was born as the youngest child of Bridget of Sweden and Ulf Gudmarsson.
In the legend of Bridget, she was born with the assistance of the Virgin Mary.
Because of this, her mother decided her for a holy life and placed her in the Skänninge Abbey as a novice.
She was placed in the convent against her will and was freed by her brother Karl Ulvsson.
She married either two or three times, first with an unknown man who died of poisoning during the wedding between Haakon VI of Norway and Margaret I of Denmark in 1363.
At this occasion, Magnus IV of Sweden was saved from poisoning by Lars Sonesson( d. 1377), who was given Cecilia as a reward against the will of her family.
As a widow, she was involved in a law suit about her dowry estate.
In 1380, she married" riksråd" Bengt Filipsson( d. 1383).
Twice widowed, she settled as a guest in Vadstena Abbey, to which she was a substantial donor, and where she died.
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.
