A proposito di questo titolo
What makes this wedding particularly noteworthy is the sheer awkwardness of the political maneuvering required. Elizabeth was Edward IV's daughter, making her technically the Yorkist claimant with arguably a better hereditary claim than Henry himself. Henry had to get a papal dispensation since they were distant cousins, and more importantly, he deliberately waited until *after* his coronation to marry her, ensuring that his claim to the throne rested on his own merits (or conquest, depending on your perspective) rather than his wife's superior bloodline.
The marriage proved surprisingly successful by medieval royal standards—they had seven children together and by all accounts developed genuine affection for one another. Elizabeth apparently mourned Henry deeply when he died, which was refreshingly unusual for arranged political marriages of the era. Their union produced Henry VIII, which means we can thank this January wedding for everything from the English Reformation to the creation of the Church of England to six very memorable marriages. One Tudor rose, it turns out, spawned quite the thorny family tree.
