Notes about Elizabeth Wydville Woodville Queen Consort

Elizabeth Woodville was the first child of Sir Richard Woodville (later the first Earl Rivers) and Jaquetta of Luxembourg. She was a maid of honour to Margaret of Anjou. Her first marriage was to Sir John Grey of Groby (died in battle 1461). She secretly married King Edward IV of England in April 1464, and was crowned Queen in May 1465. Two months earlier she had become patroness of the College "as true foundress by right of succession." She gave the College its first Statutes in 1475.
The portrait of her (shown here) is probably taken from life, and was extensively reproduced. The College has three copies. She is shown posed in the high fashion of the day, with strained back hair and a partial veil.
Queens' had thus been founded first by Margaret, a Lancastrian queen, then refounded by Elizabeth, a Yorkist queen, thus surviving the Wars of the Roses.
The connection with her is remembered in the name Woodville Room given to the MCR at Queens'.
