March 16, 1485 | Death of Anne Neville, Queen consort of England - Age 28
Anne Neville (June 11, 1456 - March 16, 1485) was Queen consort of King Richard III and mother to Edward of Middleham, Prince of Wales who died eleven months before her.
Anne died on 16 March 1485 [from an illness, likely tuberculosis], on the same day that England experienced a great eclipse of the sun. She was just three months short of her twenty-ninth birthday. She was buried in Westminster Abbey ‘with honours no less than befitted the burial of a queen’ (Crowland, p. 175.). [x]
