Qui es va casar amb Ricard Plantagenet?

Ricard Plantagenet KG (21 de setembre de 1411 – 30 de desembre de 1460), va ser el tercer Duc de York des del 1415 fins a la seva mort. Pertanyent a la Casa de York, una branca de la família reial dels Plantagenet, va ocupar càrrecs oficials a França durant la Guerra dels Cent Anys i després a Anglaterra, durant la bogeria d'Enric VI. Les seves disputes amb Enric VI van ser una de les principals causes de la Guerra de les Dues Roses. Tot i que no va arribar a acomplir les seves pretensions d'ocupar el tron, els seus fills, Eduard IV i Ricard III, esdevingueren reis.

Cecily Neville (3 May 1415 – 31 May 1495) was an English noblewoman, the wife of Richard, Duke of York (1411–1460), and the mother of two Kings of England—Edward IV and Richard III. Cecily Neville was known as "the Rose of Raby", because she was born at Raby Castle in Durham, and "Proud Cis", because of her pride and a temper that went with it, although she was also known for her piety. She herself signed her name "Cecylle".

Cecily's husband, the Duke of York, was the leading contender for the throne of England from the House of York during the period of the Wars of the Roses until his death in 1460. Their son Edward actually assumed the throne as Edward IV in 1461, after the deposition of King Henry VI of the House of Lancaster. The Duchess of York thus narrowly missed becoming queen consort of England.
