EDWARD the 4th

This Monarch was famous only for his Beauty and his Courage, of which

the Picture we have here given of him, and his undaunted Behaviour in

marrying one Woman while he was engaged to another, are sufficient

proofs. His Wife was Elizabeth Woodville, a Widow who, poor Woman! was

afterwards confined in a Convent by that Monster of Iniquity and

Avarice Henry the 7th. One of Edward’s Mistresses was Jane Shore, who

has had a play written about her, but it is a tragedy and therefore not

worth reading. Having performed all these noble actions, his Majesty

died, and was succeeded by his son.
