5 SEPTEMBER 1451
Birth of Isabel Neville, elder daughter of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick (‘The Kingmaker’), and Anne Beauchamp at Warwick Castle.
She married on 11 July 1469 George, duke of Clarence, Edward IV’s younger and Richard’s older brother. Edward was against the marriage, so it took place in secret at Calais and was conducted by Isabel’s uncle George Neville, archbishop of York.
Isabel died on 22 December 1476, leaving behind two children, Margaret (born in 1473) and Edward (born 1475).
Both descendants were eventually executed by the Tudors.
