Death of Katherine Woodville, sister of Elizabeth Woodville. She was first married to Henry Stafford, second duke of Buckingham. Her second husband was Jasper Tudor. Her marriage to her third husband, Richard Wingfield, in 1496 was not licenced by the king and her eldest son had to pay her fine after her death. Wingfield requested in his will of 1525 masses for Katherine’s soul. According to the ODNB, Jasper Tudor had not mention her at all in his will, but this is incorrect.

Order to Sir Edward Woodville (brother of Elizabeth Woodville) to disband the fleet. The Marquess of Dorset (Elizabeth Woodville’s son from her 1st marriage) had immediately after Edward IV’s death arranged to appoint Sir Edward Woodville as commander of the fleet. The king’s treasure was divided between the queen, Dorset and Edward Woodville. This was possible as the Treasurer of England, Earl Essex, had died just 5 days before Edward IV on 4 April 1483. Richard now promised a pardon to all involved, and all but two ships returned to England. Woodville, however, fled with the treasure to Brittany and Henry Tudor.
