		Elizabeth Woodville or Wydville (c 1437 - 7/8 June,1492) was the queen-consort of King Edward IV of England 1464-1483.
		Elizabeth now, briefly, became Queen Mother, but on June 25, 1483, her marriage was declared null and void by Parliament in the act Titulus Regius on the grounds that Edward had previously promised to marry Lady Eleanor Butler, which was considered a legally binding contract that rendered any other marriage contract invalid as bigamous.
		Following Henry's accession in 1485, Elizabeth Woodville's marriage Edward IV was declared to have been valid, and thus their children were once again legitimised (because Henry wanted his wife to be the Yorkist heir to the throne, to cement his hold on it).

	The Richard III and Yorkist History Server
		The startling events of Elizabeth's life are equally open to conflicting interpretation, allowing novelists to portray her variously as the enchantress and the daughter of an enchantress; a conniving, ambitious, avaricious, and conscienceless advancer of her family's fortune; and the plucky and/or pitiful queen in Shakespeare and a dozen hyperventilating Victorian novels.
		Elizabeth's history is studded with evidence of both her piety and her charitable works, in keeping with the contemporary image of queenship as involving intercession on behalf of her subjects in "imitation of the merciful Queen of Heaven" [Sutton and Visser-Fuchs].
		This Elizabeth has a relationship with her Edward that is a startling but credible blend of ambition, sexual attraction, hard-headed practicality, and a deep bond that endured despite each character's clear-eyed assessment of the other and despite varying degrees and levels of mutual distrust.

	Queens' College Record 2001 - Elizabeth Woodville
		So when Edward IV encountered Elizabeth on that fateful day in 1464, he met the daughter of his predecessor and cousin King Henry VI's erstwhile aunt and it is very probably that he already knew her - he would certainly have know of her - from Court.
		So through her mother, Elizabeth Woodville was very much of royal blood and, in the days when dynastic links were important, Edward would certainly have been well aware of this.
		Elizabeth Woodville was technically a commoner but of seriously illustrious ancestry and a close relative, by marriage at least, of the Lancastrian royal family.
