Elizabeth Woodville (or Wydeville) (1437-1492) is buried with her husband King Edward IV at St George's chapel, Windsor Castle, but she took Sanctuary at Westminster Abbey on two occasions during the Wars of the Roses.
Elizabeth Woodville (also spelt Wydville, Wydeville, or Widvile; c. 1437 – 8 June 1492), later known as Dame Elizabeth Grey, was Queen of England from her marriage to King Edward IV on 1 May 1464 until Edward was deposed on 3 October 1470, and again from Edward's resumption of the throne on 11 April 1471 until his death on 9 April 1483.
A central figure in the War of the Roses, Elizabeth Woodville found herself on both the winning and losing side, as the battle between the Yorkist supporters and Lancastrians directly impacted not only her time as Queen consort but the fate of her two young sons known as “the Princes in the Tower”.
When Elizabeth Woodville died in 1492, she was buried with little of the pomp and circumstance befitting a woman of her rank.
