Anneof Warwick

Anne of Warwick, the first Princess of Wales and the last Plantagenet queen, a daughter of Nevill, Earl of Warwick, "the king-maker," born at Warwick Castle in 1454. However, Anne, in 1470, married at Angers, Edward of Lancaster. After his defeat at Tewkesbury, and his cruel murder, she remained for some time in hiding disguised as a servant. Both Clarence and Richard were suitors for her hand. The latter discovered her, and in 1473 forced her to marry him in spite of her undisguised aversion. On the birth of her son Edward her married life was happier, but when, in 1484, the young Prince came to an untimely end, her heart was broken. She died in 1485, perhaps of poison.
