About this person
Through this marriage, her vast inheritance - including extensive lands and titles - was tied to the royal family by an act of Parliament of 1483, ensuring her estates remained under King Edward IV’s control through Richard. Anne died at the age of eight in Greenwich, London. Her early death meant her titles and estates were absorbed into the crown and redistributed under subsequent acts of Parliament, impacting the later dynastic settlement of her inheritance.
