Richard, Last Duke of Gloucester, has been made King of England ahead God. But this is by his own wishes he decided to make his Queen of England his beloved wife and partner, Lady Anne Neville, Last Duchess of Gloucester.
Anne and her husbands |
The ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey and they shared a joint coronation. Anne Neville wore
a kirtle and mantle made from 27 yards of white cloth-of-gold furred
with ermine and miniver, and trimmed with lace and tassels of white
silk and gold. Then the day ended with a magnificent banquet at which
Richard was served on gold and Anne on gilt.
A wonderful ceremony and coronation which will stay in our mind.

Your view point
Anne Neville, Richard Duke of Gloucester |
Lady Elinor Selwyn; 31 ; Lady-in-waiting of Queen Anne
Queen Anne was very pretty and noble during her coronation. I dare add her husband King Richard III insisted about a joint coronation and they were crowned together. Queen Anne, when she was married to Edward of Westminster, was destined to be a Lancastrian Queen but now she's a Yorkist Queen! Then her son sould be on the throne
Your enjoyement gives us a smile, and your convictions are a pleasure of hearing! Then you look truly faith to the king and the queen.
Sir Walter Froste; 47 ; Yorkist Soldier
When I heard Last King Edward IV was already betrothed to an other Lady, I admit I wasn't surprised. You know as me how he was and how he liked women. I guess he loved beauty, that's why he made Elizabeth Wydville his queen, I suppose. King Richard III, when he was Duke of Gloucester, ruled the North with a great hand, and even if rebellions could happened, I am not afraid of the future. I'm sure he will rule England as well as he did in the North with his beloved Queen of England.
And God save the King and Queen of England!
