Jacquetta of Luxembourg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacquetta de Luxembourg (1415/1416 – May 30, 1472) was daughter of Pierre de Luxembourg, Comte de Saint Pol, Conversano et Brienne and his wife Margaret de Baux (Margherita del Balzo of Andria).
On April 22, 1433 she married John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford at Therouenne. He was a son of King Henry IV of England and Mary de Bohun. This marriage was childless. He died in the night of September 14/15, 1435.
Before March 23, 1436/1437, she married Sir Richard Woodville, who was the son of her dead husband's chamberlain. He was later created 1st Earl Rivers. They had sixteen children, among them Elizabeth Woodville who was to become the wife of King Edward IV of England, and mother of Elizabeth of York (in her turn mother of King Henry VIII, thus making Jacquetta his great-grandmother) and of King Edward V.
