• Notes

  Elizabeth Wydevill was also known as Elizabeth Woodville. She first married Sir John Grey of Groby in 1452. As a result of her marriage to Edward IV, Elizabeth Wydevill was styled as Queen Consort Elizabeth of England on 26 May 1465. Her marriage to Edward IV Plantagenet, King of England was annulled on 25 June 1483 by an Act of Parliament, known as the 'Titulus Regius ', because of King Edward's alleged precontract to Eleanor Butler. The marriage was ultimately recognized as valid in October 1485 by the first Act of Parliament of King Henry VII.
