women history meme → tragic women [1/5] ↳ Elizabeth Woodville, Queen Consort of England
“During her fifty-five years of life, Elizabeth Woodville mourned the deaths of her parents, all of her five brothers, all but one of her seven sisters, two of her daughters, four of her fives sons and two husbands, and she may have felt that there was little to detain her in this world when her own time came.” – D. Baldwin, Elizabeth Woodville, Mother of the Princes in the Tower
