Kuka päivitti Edvard IV?

Edvard IV (28. huhtikuuta 1442 Rouen, Ranskan kuningaskunta – 9. huhtikuuta 1483 Westminsterin palatsi, Englannin kuningaskunta) oli Englannin kuningas vuosina 1461–1483, lukuun ottamatta muutaman kuukauden jaksoa 1470–1471, jolloin vallassa oli edellinen kuningas Henrik VI.

Edvard oli ensimmäinen York-sukuinen hallitsija, jonka väitetty perinnöllinen oikeus kruunuun tuli siitä, että hänen isänsä Yorkin herttua Richard oli Plantagenet-sukua ja Edvard III:n suora jälkeläinen. Edvard IV sai vallan pitkällisten taisteluiden kautta Ruusujen sodassa. Loppukausi Henrik VI:n kuoleman jälkeen oli rauhallisempaa. Hän yritti ilman menestystä edeltäjänsä menettämän Ranskan kruunun takaisinsaamista.

Elizabeth Lucy, also known as Lady Lucy, Lady Elizabeth, and Elizabeth Wayte, daughter of Thomas Wayte of Hamptonshire, (born ca. 1445) was the possible mistress of King Edward IV of England, and possible mother of several children by him, including Arthur Plantagenet, 1st Viscount Lisle. Arthur was known in his youth as Arthur Wayte. He was elevated to the title, Viscount Lisle, by Henry VII.

Elizabeth "Jane" Shore (née Lambert; c. 1445 – c. 1527) was one of the many mistresses of King Edward IV of England. She became the best known in history by being later accused of conspiracy by the future King Richard III and compelled to do public penance. She was also a sometime mistress of other noblemen, including Edward's stepson, Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset, and William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings, but ended her life in bourgeois respectability.

Lady Eleanor Talbot (c. 1436 – June 1468), also known by her married name Eleanor Butler (or Boteler), was an English noblewoman. She was a daughter of John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury. After the death of Edward IV of England in 1483 it was claimed by Robert Stillington, Bishop of Bath and Wells, that she was legally married precontract to Edward, which invalidated the king's later marriage to Elizabeth Woodville. The evidence was examined and the Bishop was questioned by the Three Estates (informal sitting of parliament with the same members), who determined that Bishop Stillington's claim was valid. The finding rendered Edward IV's second secret marriage to Elizabeth Woodville bigamous, thereby making all seven children illegitimate, including Edward's sons, the so-called Princes in the Tower. As the oldest male blood relative of Edward IV, his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was elected by the Three Estates to the throne as Richard III. Edward's sons remained in the royal apartments in the Tower and subsequently disappeared. Various explanations for their disappearance have been put forward.

After the death of Richard at the Battle of Bosworth Field, the new king Henry Tudor requested Parliament repeal the Titulus Regius and destroy all existing copies.
