Palace of Westminster- Daughter of the king Elizabeth of York was born at the Palace of Westminster as the eldest child of King Edward IV and his wife, Elizabeth Woodville. Her christening was celebrated at Westminster Abbey, sponsored by her grandmothers Jacquea of Luxembourg, Duchess of Bedford, and Cecily Neville, Duchess of York. Her third sponsor was her cousin, Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick.[3] She was named a Lady of the Garter in 1477, along with her mother and her paternal aunt Elizabeth of York, Duchess of Suffolk. In 1469, she was briefly betrothed to George Neville. His father John later supported George's uncle the Earl of Warwick in rebellion against King Edward IV, and the betrothal was called off. In 1475, Louis XI agreed to the marriage of Elizabeth of York and his son Charles, the Dauphin of France. In 1482, however, Louis XI reneged on his promise.

Comment Aft 1503 - According to folklore, the "queen ... in the parlour" in the children's nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence" is Elizabeth of York, while her husband is the king counting his money. The symbol of the Tudor dynasty is the Tudor rose, which became a royal symbol for England upon Elizabeth's marriage to Henry VII in 1486. Her White Rose of York is most commonly proper to her husband's Red Rose of Lancaster and today, uncrowned, is still the floral emblem of England. Elizabeth of York was a renowned beauty, inheriting her parents' fair hair and complexion. All other Tudor monarchs inherited her reddish gold hair and the trait became synonymous with the dynasty. Elizabeth and Henry VII had seven children: Arthur, Prince of Wales (20 September 1486 – 2 April 1502) Margaret, Queen consort of Scotland (28 November 1489 – 18 October 1541) Henry VIII of England (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) Elizabeth Tudor (2 July 1492 – 14 September 1495) Mary, Queen consort of France (18 March 1496 – 25 June 1533) Edmund, Duke of Somerset (21 February 1499 – 19 June 1500) Katherine Tudor (2 February 1503 – 10 February 1503) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_of_York
