“On Michaelmas Day, 29 September 1464, the King formally presented his new bride to his subjects, or at least as many of them who could gather in and around Reading Abbey. There ‘Lady Elizabeth was admitted into the abbey church, led by the Duke of Clarence and the Earl of Warwick, and honoured as Queen by the lords and all the people.”

“John Genycote received 3s for writing and limning (illuminating) six ballads presented to the Queen on her approach, and John Thompson 8d for writing ‘6 ballads on tablets fixed to the pageant on the bridge.” – Elizabeth, England’s Slandered Queen by Arlene Okerlund.

As is usually the case when I allow myself a few days off from my regular work, I have allowed myself to illustrate one of the many ideas that come to me during the days already loaded with so much work. This time I chose to illustrate this, I felt that it could not wait. I don’t think I’ll get over this obsession too soon, the father-daughter relationship between Edward IV and Elizabeth of York.
It seems to me that one of the qualities of Edward was the fact that he is an indulgent father with his daughters, even if there are days when his patience is put to the test!
