Notities over Sir Anthony Woodville, KG. 2nd Earl Rivers

Anthony Woodville, 2nd Earl Rivers KG (c. 1440 – 25 June 1483), was an English nobleman, courtier, bibliophile and writer. He was the brother of Queen Elizabeth Woodville who married King Edward IV. He was one of the leading members of the Woodville family, which came to prominence during the reign of King Edward IV. After Edward's death, he was arrested and then executed by the Duke of Gloucester (the future King Richard III) as part of a power-struggle between Richard and the Woodvilles. His English translation of The Dictes and Sayings of the Philosophers is one of the first books printed in England.

Knight of the Garter. Lord Scales, later Earl Rivers obtained a grant of the Castle and rights of Lordship in 1467. In consequence of his sister having married Edward IV, he shared in all the vicissitudes which befell the King, and became governor of Calais and captain-general of the king's forces. He was also made governor of Prince Edward, and chief butler of England. AFT the death of Edward IV in 1483, Anthony appeared to be standing in the way of the ambitious Duke of Gloucester. The Earl assembled a body of troops, with the intention of crowning his nephew; but his design was defeated by the machinations of the Duke of Gloucester, afterwards Richard III, who caused the gallant nobleman to be beheaded, without trial, in the castle of Pontefract, Jun, 1483
