Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lady Eleanor Talbot (died 30 June, 1468) was a daughter of John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury. Her alleged pre-contract of marriage with King Edward IV of England was of great significance to the final fate of the Plantagenet dynasty and outcome of the Wars of the Roses. In about 1450, Eleanor married Sir Thomas Butler, son of Ralph Butler, Lord Sudeley. When Thomas died some time before March 1461, Eleanor''s father-in-law took back one of the two manors he had settled on her and her husband when they married. Lord Sudeley did not have a licence for the transfer of title. Edward IV, who became king at around this time, seized both properties. Edward already had a reputation for womanizing. When Lady Eleanor went to ask him for the return of her property, it was said that Edward tried to persuade her to sleep with him, and when she refused, that he promised to marry her. On 1 May 1464 Edward secretly married the widowed Lady Elizabeth Woodville at her family home in Northamptonshire.
