Status Updates From Elizabeth Widville, Lady Gr...

This is not a biography of Elizabeth Woodville. So far, the books consists of explaining how every single member of the English nobility in the 1460s was related to Eleanor Talbot, presented here as Edward IV's real wife as though this is a certain established fact, with much speculation on when Elizabeth found out and how she reacted.

‘Obviously no firm proof exists for the hypothesis that young Eleanor Talbot was killed, and that her murder was planned by Elizabeth Widville. However, we do know for certain that in 1467-68 Elizabeth Widville was involved in operations against some people.‘

That is a pretty big leap though!

‘Obviously tor Edward, if a potential heir appeared to be on the way, his secret union with the mother would urgently have needed to be recognised and made official. And since their union had been secretly consummated in May 1464 Elizabeth might very easily have known that she was pregnant four months later, in September of that year.’
