Quem se casou com Eduardo IV de Inglaterra?

Eduardo IV da Inglaterra (Ruão, 28 de abril de 1442 – Londres, 9 de abril de 1483) foi o Rei da Inglaterra durante dois períodos diferentes, primeiro de 1461 até 1470 e depois de 1471 até sua morte, sendo o primeiro monarca inglês da Casa de Iorque. A primeira parte de seu reinado foi marcada pela violência associada com a Guerra das Rosas, em que lutou contra as forças da Casa de Lencastre e o rei Henrique VI até finalmente derrotá-los na Batalha de Tewkesbury, reinando em paz até o final.

Lady Eleanor Talbot (c. 1436 – June 1468), also known by her married name Eleanor Butler (or Boteler), was an English noblewoman. She was a daughter of John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury. After the death of Edward IV of England in 1483 it was claimed by Robert Stillington, Bishop of Bath and Wells, that she was legally married precontract to Edward, which invalidated the king's later marriage to Elizabeth Woodville. The evidence was examined and the Bishop was questioned by the Three Estates (informal sitting of parliament with the same members), who determined that Bishop Stillington's claim was valid. The finding rendered Edward IV's second secret marriage to Elizabeth Woodville bigamous, thereby making all seven children illegitimate, including Edward's sons, the so-called Princes in the Tower. As the oldest male blood relative of Edward IV, his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was elected by the Three Estates to the throne as Richard III. Edward's sons remained in the royal apartments in the Tower and subsequently disappeared. Various explanations for their disappearance have been put forward.

After the death of Richard at the Battle of Bosworth Field, the new king Henry Tudor requested Parliament repeal the Titulus Regius and destroy all existing copies.
