Edward, IV, King of England

M, #23068, b. 28 April 1442, d. 9 April 1483

Biography

  • Edward, IV, King of England, was born on 28 April 1442 in Rouen, Seine-Maritime, Haute-Normandie, France.
  • He and Elizabeth Woodville, Queen of England, were married on 1 May 1464 in Grafton, Yorkshire, England.
  • He died on 9 April 1483 at age 40 in Westminster, City of Westminster, Greater London, England.
  • He was buried on 9 April 1483 at St-George's Chapel in Windsor, Berkshire, England.
  • Edward IV (28 April 1442 – 9 April 1483) was King of England from 4 March 1461 to 3 October 1470, then again from 11 April 1471 until his death in 1483. He was a central figure in the Wars of the Roses, a series of civil wars in England fought between the Yorkist and Lancastrian factions between 1455 and 1487.
    Edward inherited the Yorkist claim when his father, Richard, Duke of York, died at the Battle of Wakefield in December 1460. After defeating Lancastrian armies at Mortimer's Cross and Towton in early 1461, he deposed King Henry VI and took the throne. His marriage to Elizabeth Woodville in 1464 led to conflict with his chief advisor, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, known as the "Kingmaker". In 1470, a revolt led by Warwick and Edward's brother George, Duke of Clarence, briefly re-installed Henry VI.
    Edward fled to Flanders, where he gathered support and invaded England in March 1471; after victories at the battles of Barnet and Tewkesbury, he resumed the throne. Shortly afterwards, Henry VI was found dead in the Tower of London. Despite a continuing threat from Henry Tudor, later Henry VII, the last Lancastrian claimant, Edward reigned in relative peace for the next twelve years. When he died suddenly in April 1483, Edward IV was succeeded by his minor son Edward V, but Edward IV's brother Richard III soon seized the throne.
  • Edward, IV, King of England, held the title of King of England from 4 March 1461 to 3 October 1470.
  • He held the title of Lord of Ireland from 4 March 1461 to 3 October 1470.
  • He held the title of King of England from 11 April 1471 to 9 April 1483.
  • He held the title of Lord of Ireland from 11 April 1471 to 9 April 1483.

George Plantagenet,, 1st Duke of Clarence

M, #23071, b. 21 October 1449, d. 18 February 1477

Biography

  • George Plantagenet,, 1st Duke of Clarence, was born on 21 October 1449 in Dublin, Ireland.
  • He died on 18 February 1477 at age 27 in London, Middlesex, England.
  • He was buried in February 1478 in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England.
  • George was the troublesome younger brother of Edward IV. Throughout the Wars of the Roses, he was never quite sure which side he was on: First, he supported his brother when he seized the throne, but then he planned with Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick to usurp him. When that didn’t work out, he switched back again. Even then, however, his allegiance wasn't solid.
    By 1476, Edward had had enough, and George was found guilty of treason. Though his execution was private, tradition has it that George was drowned in a vat of very expensive malmsey wine. No definite evidence exists, but bones believed to be George’s showed no signs of a beheading (although some doubt it is him) plus a portrait of his daughter shows her wearing a bracelet with a vat charm (although some doubt it is her). Some even say George himself chose this unusual exit, perhaps as a way to avoid the well-known and messy inaccuracies of the medieval executioner.

Richard, III, King of England

M, #23072, b. 2 October 1452, d. 22 August 1485

Biography

  • Richard, III, King of England, was born on 2 October 1452 in Fotheringhay, Northamptonshire, England.
  • He and Anne Neville, Queen of England, were married on 12 July 1472 in England.
  • He died on 22 August 1485 at age 32 in Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, England.
  • He was buried on 25 August 1485 at Greyfriars Church in Leicester, Leicestershire, England.
  • He was buried on 26 March 2015 at Leicester Cathedral in Leicester, Leicestershire, England.
  • Richard III (2 October 1452 – 22 August 1485) was King of England and Lord of Ireland from 26 June 1483 until his death in 1485. He was the last king of the House of York and the last of the Plantagenet dynasty. His defeat and death at the Battle of Bosworth Field, the last decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses, marked the end of the Middle Ages in England. He is the protagonist of Richard III, one of William Shakespeare's history/tragedy plays.
    Richard was created Duke of Gloucester in 1461 after the accession of his brother King Edward IV. In 1472, he married Anne Neville, daughter of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick. He governed northern England during Edward's reign, and played a role in the invasion of Scotland in 1482. When Edward IV died in April 1483, Richard was named Lord Protector of the realm for Edward's eldest son and successor, the 12-year-old Edward V. Arrangements were made for Edward V's coronation on 22 June 1483. Before the king could be crowned, the marriage of his parents was declared bigamous and therefore invalid. Now officially illegitimate, their children were barred from inheriting the throne. On 25 June, an assembly of lords and commoners endorsed a declaration to this effect, and proclaimed Richard as the rightful king. He was crowned on 6 July 1483. Edward and his younger brother Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York, called the "Princes in the Tower", were not seen in public after August, and accusations circulated that they had been murdered on King Richard's orders, under the Tudor rule a few years later.
    There were two major rebellions against Richard during his reign. In October 1483, an unsuccessful revolt was led by staunch allies of Edward IV and Richard's former ally, Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham. Then, in August 1485, Henry Tudor and his uncle, Jasper Tudor, landed in southern Wales with a contingent of French troops, and marched through Pembrokeshire, recruiting soldiers. Henry's forces defeated Richard's army near the Leicestershire town of Market Bosworth. Richard was slain, making him the last English king to die in battle. Henry Tudor then ascended the throne as Henry VII.
    Richard's corpse was taken to the nearby town of Leicester and buried without ceremony. His original tomb monument is believed to have been removed during the English Reformation, and his remains were wrongly thought to have been thrown into the River Soar. In 2012, an archaeological excavation was commissioned by the Richard III Society on the site previously occupied by Grey Friars Priory. The University of Leicester identified the skeleton found in the excavation as that of Richard III as a result of radiocarbon dating, comparison with contemporary reports of his appearance, and comparison of his mitochondrial DNA with that of two matrilineal descendants of his sister Anne. He was reburied in Leicester Cathedral on 26 March 2015.
  • Richard, III, King of England, held the title of King of England from 26 June 1483 to 22 August 1485.
  • He held the title of Lord of Ireland from 26 June 1483 to 22 August 1485.
  • He was crowned on 6 July 1483.
