I can see a few similarities between Anne Neville and Catherine of Aragon. Traveling with powerful parents, intelligent, wealthy/powerful in their own right, marrying an heir then a king (being a prisoner or pawn in between), religious, good queens, trouble producing heirs
I wasn't aware 'The Richard the Third Society' had commissioned Anne's memorial in Westminster Abbey - good for them! This was a great episode Heather, many thanks.
@@juliancain3872 - I agree, it would be interesting if, through time and research, we could identify his final resting place. There is an interesting you tube broadcast by 'Alan Barton - The Antiquary' called 'The Tomb of King Richard 3rd's Son ?', in it he visits Sheriff Hutton Church. Although it provides no final answers to where Edward might rest, it is interesting none the less.
It's a good point you make about Anne Neville's presumed level of maturity if she was attending important functions at the age of nine, but would she have been particularly unique in that? Wouldn't all the daughters of the nobility (and royalty) be groomed to be 'presentable' as soon as possible so they could enter the all-important marriage market sooner? Anyway, another highly engrossing video, great work.
If you are hinting at a 'coming out' situation I too am not yet aware either. It does seem to me that a number of future marriages at the royal level were often negotiated when some princes and princesses were but babies, as seen in the arrangements in Scotland, France and England, etcetera. One rung down the ladder I am not sure, but others will know. Anne coming out at only 9 seems very youngish to me, but the family were in slightly different circumstances to most(?)
we have a bunch of her books - this is an academic paper I found outlining all of her books. I'll find the specific mention of the book of rules and hours asap too. americainclass.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Dzon-Cecily-Neville.pdf
They're in this book: www.amazon.com/collection-ordinances-regulations-government-household/dp/117019883X - I think it's on the internet archive too, for free.

Now, if only they can locate Edward of Middleham's remains.

That's a good point. But from what I read, it was pretty unusual to have such a young one going to this formal of an event. But definitely good point!

Interesting women Ann Neville had Richard’s brother fall in love with her . Also at one point accused of being a witch.
Anybody find the book the orders and rules of princess Cecil?
