Princess Leia of Hungary was the wife of Prince Edmund Plantagenet
[edit] Biography
In 1485, following a series of political reversals that scuttered King Richard IV's plans to marry his second son Edmund to the Spanish Infanta, the King sought to form an alliance with Hungary by marrying Prince Edmund to the eight-year-old Leia, instead. They were married soon afterwards.
Although she seemed unconcerned by Edmund's near burning-at-the-stake in 1488, there was no indication that the marriage did not last. She was not seen at Court when virtually all of England's nobility (including Edmund) was killed by poisoning, so it is assumed that she survived.
