June 8, 1492: The widow of King Edward IV of England, Queen Elizabeth Woodville, died at Bermondsey Abbey in London and was later buried at St. George's Chapel, Windsor with her husband. She was 55 years old. Although her sons with The King disappeared in The Tower of London, her daughter Elizabeth of York married Henry VII and became Queen of England.
