Elisabeth of York

She married the January 18th 1486 the king Henri VII Tudor. This marriage symbolically put an end to the Guerre Two-Pinks.
It put at the world seven children, of which four survived: Arthur Tudor, Marguerite Tudor, Henri VIII of England and Marie Tudor.

She died the day of her thirty-seventh birthday, infection puerpérale, nine days after having given rise to Catherine Tudor, born and died the same day, on February 2nd, 1503.

Elizabeth of York is the only English queen to have been wife, girl, sister, niece and mother of English kings.
