Elizabeth Woodville a commoner?

According to this article

...Edward had secretly been married to Elizabeth Woodville, a commoner...unblock quote

But according to Elizabeth Woodville

Unblock quote Elizabeth was born circa 1437 at Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire, the daughter of Richard Wydeville, 1st Earl Rivers and Jacquetta of Luxembourg...un...blockquote>

Thus her father was an earl. Moreover, according to Jacquetta of Luxembourg

Jacquetta of Luxembourg (1415/1416 – May 30, 1472) was the elder daughter of Peter I, Count of St Pol, Conversano and Brienne and his wife Margaret de Baux (Margherita del Balzo of Andria).
Thus her mother was a noblewoman as well. Also, according to Edward IV of England

Unblockquote...Edward then alienated Warwick by secretly marrying Elizabeth Woodville, who had a large group of relatively poor but very ambitious Lancastrian relations.unblockquote

Thus Woodville was related to Lancastrian nobility. --Top.Squark (talk) 12:28, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Earl Ryvers wasn't a Earl when they married though I recall? Therefore she is of common birth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.3.82 (talk) 20:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
