Anne Neville was born on 11th June 1456 and died on 16th March 1485. She was the daughter of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick<\/a>. As coheiress to one of the most powerful and wealthy men in England, she was a significant woman. Her importance led to her marriage to Prince Edward (of Westminster) and following his death at the Battle of Tewkesbury<\/a>, to Richard Duke of Gloucester<\/a>. Anne gave birth to one son, Edward (of Middleham). His date of birth is disputed. Her son died at a young age, in 1484. Anne herself was to pass away at a young age, dying in 1485.<\/p>\n
