She was the daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, whose first husband, Sir John Grey of Groby, was killed in the second battle of St.Albans 1461, fighting for the Lancastrian cause.

Many people believe that the Wars of the Roses ended with the Battle of Bosworth, won by Henry VII against Richard III in 1485, although this is not true, as the Lambert Simnel rebellion caused Henry VII to fight one more battle, the Battle of Stoke on June 4th 1487. Although this was the last battle in the Wars of the Roses, Henry VII still faced many threats from Yorkist claimants who still wanted the throne, which means that many historian believe the Wars of the Roses did not truly end until the acession of Henry's son, Henry VIII.
