Elizabeth Woodville and her second husband, King Edward IV were incredibly fortunate when it came to the production of healthy heirs. Elizabeth would give her husband a total of ten children - three boys and seven girls, with the most well known being Elizabeth of York, the wife of King Henry VII and mother to king Henry VIII. However, three of these seven daughters, Cecily, Anne and Catherine would lead lives just as fascinating and dramatic as their eldest sister, and would eventually discover life under the rule of the Tudor’s had its challenges, so who were these forgotten York princesses? What were their lives like and why are they all but forgotten by history?
