Ποιος χρονολόγησε Εδουάρδος Δ΄ της Αγγλίας;

Ο Εδουάρδος Δ΄ της Αγγλίας (Edward IV, 28 Απριλίου 1442 - 9 Απριλίου 1483) βασιλιάς της Αγγλίας (4 Μαρτίου 1461 - 3 Οκτωβρίου 1470) και (11 Απριλίου 1471 - 9 Απριλίου 1483) από τον Οίκο της Υόρκης, ήταν δεύτερος γιος του Ριχάρδου Πλανταγενέτη και της Σεσίλ Νέβιλ. Ο Εδουάρδος Δ΄ ήταν ο πρώτος βασιλιάς της Αγγλίας από τον Οίκο της Υόρκης. Το πρώτο διάστημα της βασιλείας του ξέσπασαν πολλές βιαιότητες με τον αντίπαλο Οίκο του Λάνκαστερ που έμειναν γνωστές ως Πόλεμος των Ρόδων, μετά δε τη μάχη του Τιούκσμπερι (1471) ανακατέλαβε το θρόνο και κυβέρνησε ειρηνικά μέχρι τον αιφνίδιο θάνατό του. Ο Εδουάρδος Δ΄ πριν γίνει βασιλιάς πήρε τους τίτλους του 4ου δούκα της Υόρκης, του 7ου κόμη του Μαρτς, του 5ου κόμη του Κέιμπριτζ, του 9ου κόμη του Ώλστερ, και ήταν ο 65ος ιππότης του Τάγματος του Χρυσόμαλλου Δέρατος. Ο Εδουάρδος ήταν ο δεύτερος γιος των γονέων του αλλά ο μεγαλύτερος από τους τέσσερεις που επέζησαν μέχρι την ενηλικίωση, και πριν το θάνατο του πατέρα του και την άνοδό του στο θρόνο πήρε τον τίτλο του κόμη του Μαρτς.

Elizabeth "Jane" Shore (née Lambert; c. 1445 – c. 1527) was one of the many mistresses of King Edward IV of England. She became the best known in history by being later accused of conspiracy by the future King Richard III and compelled to do public penance. She was also a sometime mistress of other noblemen, including Edward's stepson, Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset, and William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings, but ended her life in bourgeois respectability.

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 married Elizabeth of York, the eldest surviving child of Edward IV, and requested that Parliament repeal the Titulus Regius and destroy all existing copies.

Elizabeth Lucy, also known as Lady Lucy, Lady Elizabeth, and Elizabeth Wayte, daughter of Thomas Wayte of Hampshire, (born ca. 1445) was the possible mistress of King Edward IV of England, and possible mother of several children by him, including Arthur Plantagenet, 1st Viscount Lisle. Arthur was known in his youth as Arthur Wayte. He was elevated to the title, Viscount Lisle, by Henry VII.
