Is it known (or suggested anywhere) how she died? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.129.86.249 (talk) 23:02, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm cutting this statement:

They were married rather than betrothed — as would have been the custom for children of their ages — so that the king could get control of her vast estates.

Anne was a ward of the crown, so the king already had control of her estates (excepting the significant portion held as jointure by her still-living mother and grandmother). I don't know why she was married so young. Loren Rosen 19:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To prevent her marrying anyone else. To obtain control of estate is one thing; to retain it, quite another. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.161.207.211 (talk) 04:13, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

She is shown as holding them from her birth in 1472. However, her father's page shows that he held the titles till his death in 1476. I therefore propose to amend the date when she inherited the titles to 1476. Alekksandr (talk) 21:30, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now done. Alekksandr (talk) 17:33, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
