Elizabeth Woodville - A Queen

Time: Friday May 26, 1465

Place: Westminster Abbey, London, England, United Kingdom

Details: Only the bride's mother and two ladies were in attendance. Edward married her just over three years after he had assumed the English throne in the wake of his overwhelming victory over the Lancastrians, at the Battle of Towton, which resulted in the displacement of King Henry VI. Elizabeth Woodville was crowned queen on 26 May 1465, the Sunday after Ascension Day.
