Margaret (Plantagenet) Lumley is a member of the House of York.

Biography

Margaret Plantagenet was an illegitimate daughter of Edward IV of England.^[1] Most secondary sources incorrectly call her Elizabeth. She married Thomas Lumley, esq., son and heir apparent of Sir George Lumley, Lord Lumley of Lumley, co. Durham. Together they had four sons and three daughters.

Identity

Almost all secondary sources call the wife of Thomas Lumley "Elizabeth." This even includes recent references such as Royal Ancestry (2013),^[2] and Wikipedia.^[3][4]

Visitations and pedigrees refer to her as the natural daughter of King Edward IV.^[5]

While she is usually unnamed; she is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "Elizabeth." Support for this comes from a papal dispensation issued for the marriage of her son Richard Lumley to Anne Conyers, who were related in the 4th degree (both would have been descendants Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmoreland).

Near-contemporary sources do not actually give her name. They simply state she married Thomas Lumley and was a natural daughter of Edward IV. However, posts on SGM, show that her name was Margaret.^[1]

Proof comes from a fine where Thomas Lumley and Margaret his wife conveyed land to their son.^[6]

In 1485 she was also called Margaret in the IPM of her husband's grandfather, another Thomas Lumley.^[7]

Parents

While Margaret's father is known, the identity of her mother has long been a mystery. Some have argued that she was Edward's mistress Elizabeth Lucy a.k.a. Wayte.[3]^[8]
