Notizen bei Elizabeth WOODVILLE

Elizabeth was born about 1437, at Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire. She was the first-born child of a socially unequal marriage that had briefly scandalised the English court. Her father, Richard Woodville, was at the time of his daughter's birth merely a Knight. He married Jacquetta of Luxembourg. The daughter of Peter of Luxembourg, Count of Saint-Pol and Margaret de Baux, she had been married off to the Duke of Bedford in 1433 at the age of 17; he was significantly older than Jacquetta, his second wife, and in ill-health, and he died in 1435, leaving Jacquetta a childless, wealthy widow. She was required to seek permission from the King before remarrying; but in March 1437, it was revealed that she had secretly married Woodville, who was far below her in rank and not considered a suitable husband for the lady still honoured as the King's aunt. Thomas Moore claimed that Elizabeth Woodville was synonymous with "Isabel Grey", a maid of honour to Margaret of Anjou, Queen of Henry VI, in 1445; modern historians (such as A.R. Myers, George Smith, and David Baldwin) have noted that there were several more likely candidates to be this lady, either Lady Isabella Grey, who accompanied Margaret to England from France in 1445, or an Elizabeth Grey who was a widowed mother by 1445 being suggested as the front-runners. In about 1452, she married Sir John Grey of Groby, who was killed at the Second Battle of St Albans in 1461, fighting for the Lancastrian cause, which would become a source of irony as Edward IV was the Yorkist claimant to the throne. Elizabeth's two sons from this first marriage were Thomas (later Marquess of Dorset) and Richard. Elizabeth was called "the most beautiful woman in the Island of Britain" with "heavy-lidded eyes like those of a dragon" suggesting a perhaps unusual criterion by which beauty in late medieval England was judged. With the arrival on the scene of the new queen came a host of siblings who soon married into some of the most notable families in England.[8] The marriages of her sisters to the sons of the earls of Kent, Essex and Pembroke have left no sign of unhappiness on the parts of the parties involved, nor does that of her sister, Catherine Woodville, to the queen's 11-year-old ward Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, though the duke stood with the duke of Gloucester in opposition to the Woodvilles after the death of Edward IV. The one marriage which may be considered shocking was that of her 20-year-old brother John Woodville to Katherine, Duchess of Norfolk, daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, by Joan Beaufort, and widow of John Mowbray, 2nd Duke of Norfolk. The wealthy Katherine had been widowed three times and was probably in her sixties. SOURCE: Wikipedia
