 Princess
Elizabeth of York was born at
Westminster on February11th, 1465. She married Henry Tudor on January
18th, 1486.
She
seems to have been beautiful, gentle and kind as
well as generous to her relations, to her
servants and to her benefactors. In fact, records
show that her income never
covered her expenses! She was fond of dancing, of
music, dicing and hunting. She is still
commemorated - as the model for the queen on our
playing cards.
She died in
childbirth on her 39th birthday, in 1503.
