| Notes |
- Elizabeth of York (11 February 1466 – 11 February 1503) was queen consort of England from 1486 until her death. As the wife of Henry VII, she was the first Tudor queen. She was the daughter of Edward IV, niece of Richard III and married the king following Henry's victory at the Battle of Bosworth which ended the Wars of the Roses. She was the mother of Henry VIII.
The period between her father's death in 1483, when she was 17, and her marriage in 1486 was a violent and anxious interlude in what was mostly a peaceful life. Her two brothers, the "Princes in the Tower" disappeared, presumably murdered by her uncle, Richard III of England, who also executed most of her male relations on her mother's side. As a Yorkist princess, the final victory of the Lancastrian faction in the War of the Roses may have seemed a further disaster, but Henry Tudor was keen to heal wounds and had already promised to marry her before he invaded; this was an important move that gained him Yorkist support.
Her marriage seems to be a successful one, though her eldest son Arthur, Prince of Wales died at 15 in 1502, and three other children died young. She seems to have played little part in politics. Her surviving children became a King of England, and queens of France and Scotland; it is through the Scottish Stuart dynasty that her many modern royal descendents trace their descent from her.
