Death edit

Is it known (or suggested anywhere) how she died? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.129.86.249 (talk) 23:02, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'm cutting this statement:

They were married rather than betrothed — as would have been the custom for children of their ages — so that the king could get control of her vast estates.

Anne was a ward of the crown, so the king already had control of her estates (excepting the significant portion held as jointure by her still-living mother and grandmother). I don't know why she was married so young. Loren Rosen 19:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

To prevent her marrying anyone else. To obtain control of estate is one thing; to retain it, quite another. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.161.207.211 (talk) 04:13, 28 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Titles edit

She is shown as holding them from her birth in 1472. However, her father's page shows that he held the titles till his death in 1476. I therefore propose to amend the date when she inherited the titles to 1476. Alekksandr (talk) 21:30, 25 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Now done. Alekksandr (talk) 17:33, 31 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
