EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the annals of English history, Elizabeth Woodville, the enchanting Queen of Edward IV, is depicted in regal splendor. The year is 1492, and Elizabeth, with her striking blonde hair cascading to her feet, holds the lengthy train of her ermine-trimmed gown with the assistance of an attendant. Born in 1437, Elizabeth Woodville was a woman of extraordinary beauty and charisma, who rose from humble beginnings as the daughter of a Yorkist knight to become the queen of the realm. Her marriage to King Edward IV in 1464 was a significant event in English history, as she was the first queen to be crowned in Westminster Abbey since Anne Neville, daughter of the Earl of Warwick, in 1472. Elizabeth's elegant attire in this print is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Tudor court. The ermine trim, a symbol of royalty and purity, adorns the edges of her gown, while the intricate patterns and rich fabrics speak to the wealth and power of the monarchy. The train of her dress, which Elizabeth holds with the help of her attendant, is a symbol of her status and authority. Despite her humble origins, Elizabeth Woodville proved to be a shrewd and capable queen, who played a significant role in the political landscape of 15th-century England. Her influence extended beyond the court, as she was known for her generosity and charity, and was deeply involved in the education and upbringing of her children, including the future King Edward V and the controversial Richard III. This evocative image of Elizabeth Woodville, with her blonde hair reaching to her feet and her train held by an attendant, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Tudor court, as well as the captivating story of one of England's most intriguing queens.
