annetheseamaiden:Historical Marriages | War of the Rosesfor anon (I ended up doing another thing, but here is the two of them together)Anne Neville’s marriage to Edward, Prince of WalesBy 1469, Warwick had turned against Edward IV and the Yorkists, and joined the Lancastrian cause promoting the return of Henry VI. Henry’s queen, Margaret of Anjou, was heading the Lancastrian effort, from France. Warwick married his older daughter,Isabel, to George, Duke of Clarence, a brother of Edward IV, and Clarence switched from the York to the Lancaster party. The next year, Warwick, apparently to convince Margaret of Anjou that he was trustworthy (because he had originally sided with Edward IV in unseating Henry VI), he married his daughter Anne to Henry VI’s son and heir apparent Edward of Westminster, who had been Prince of Wales when his father ruled Warwick, Margaret and Edward of Westminster invaded England, Edward IV fled to Burgundy.Clarence switched sides and rejoined his Yorkist brothers, Anne’s marriage to Edward of Westminster convincing him that Warwick had not intention to promote his kingship. On April 14, at the Battle of Barnet, the Yorkist party was victorious, and Anne’s father, Warwick, and a brother of Warwick, John Neville, were among those killed. Then on May 4, in the battle of Tewkesbury, the Yorkists won another decisive victory over Margaret of Anjou’s forces, and Anne’s young husband, Edward of Westminster, was killed either during the battle or shortly after. With his heir dead, the Yorkists had Henry VI killed days later. Anne was imprisoned by the victorious and restored king Edward IV. (x) -- source link
