Notes

  • "Jacquetta Woodville (1445-1509), married John le Strange, 8th Baron Strange of Knockin."
    --  Wikiedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacquetta_of_Luxembourg

    The French form, which would be favored by the Plantagenet line, was Jaquette.

    Jaquetta's mother was Jaquetta of Luxembourg.  Her father was Jaquetta's second husband, after her first husband died befre they had any children.  Jaquetta of Luxembourg married Sir Richard de Wydeville (Woodville).

    --------------------
    First marriage
    On 22 April 1433 at age 17, Jacquetta married John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford at Therouenne. The Duke was the third son of King Henry IV of England and Mary de Bohun, and thus the grandson of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, himself the third son of Edward III.

    Jacquetta was a fourth cousin, twice removed of Sigismund of Luxembourg, the reigning Holy Roman Emperor, and King of Bohemia and Hungary.

    The marriage was childless and the Duke died on 15 September 1435 at Rouen. In Philippa Gregory's novel The White Queen Jacquetta is referred to as 'Jaquetta Rivers' but in fact and as was customary at the time, after her second marriage Jacquetta retained the title of her first husband and was always known as the Duchess of Bedford, this being a higher title to that of countess.

    Second marriage
    Sir Richard Woodville, son of Sir Richard Wydevill who had served as the late Duke's chamberlain, was commissioned by Henry VI of England to bring the young widow to England. During the journey, the couple fell in love and married in secret (before 23 March 1437), without seeking the king's permission. Jacquetta had been granted dower lands following her first husband's death on condition that she did not re-marry without a royal licence. On learning of the marriage, Henry VI refused to see them but was mollified by the payment of a fine of £1000. The marriage was long and very fruitful: Jacquetta and Richard had fourteen children, including the future Queen Consort Elizabeth Woodville. She lost her first-born son Lewis to a fever when he was 12 years old.

    By the mid-1440s, the Woodvilles were in a powerful position.  Jacquetta was related to both King Henry and Queen Margaret by marriage. Her sister, Isabelle de Saint Pol, married Margaret's uncle Charles du Maine while Jacquetta was the widow of Henry VI's uncle. She outranked all ladies at Court with the exception of the Queen.  As a personal favourite, she also enjoyed special privileges and influence at court.  Margaret influenced Henry to create Richard Woodville Baron Rivers in 1448, and he was a prominent partisan of the House of Lancaster as the Wars of the Roses began.
