Elizabeth Woodville
Elizabeth Woodville has a fairy tale story. She was the first commoner in England to marry into royalty. She became the wife of King Edward IV, and it’s no surprise why he choose her out of all the women who were vying for his attention. Woodville was considered the most beautiful woman on the Isle of Britain with eyes that, “looked like those of a dragon.” Her original portrait doesn’t quite do her beauty justice, but you can see her stunning features in her modern portrait that show why King Edward IV went out of his way to make her his wife.
