Elizabeth of York

I am Elizabeth of York. I was born in 1466. My father was King Edward VI and my mother was Elizabeth Woodville. I had 2 brothers and 4 sisters. After my father died, both of my brothers, (one of whom was now King), were taken by my Uncle Richard Duke of Gloucester, to the Tower of London and we never heard of them again. My Uncle then became King Richard III.
Two years later, he fought a great battle with Henry Tudor, who defeated him. Henry then went on to become King Henry VII and he married me in 1486.
We had seven children altogether, but only 4 of them survived childhood. They were Arthur, Margaret, Henry and Mary.
My first son Arthur was born on 20th September 1486 at Winchester. Then I had my first daughter, Margaret, born on the 29th November 1489.
Henry was my second son. He was born in Greenwich Palace on 14th June 1491. Then my last surviving daughter and the most beautiful, Mary Rose Tudor was born on the 18th of March 1496.
