Mary Woodville (Blooming Roses)

Mary Woodville (26 May 1522 - 19 June 1588) was the eldest daughter of Anthony Woodville, 18th Earl of Warwick and Elizabeth Grey, Viscountess Lisle. She was a member of one of the most powerful families in England, so it was surprising when Maud Green's political machinations resulted in the betrothal between Lady Mary Woodville and her son, William Parr. Parr would eventually go on to become the Marquess of Northampton, making her a marchioness.
