Page "Anne Neville" Paragraph 16

Anne died on 16 March 1485 of tuberculosis, at Westminster.

The day she died, there was an eclipse, which some took to be an omen of Richard's fall from heavenly grace.

She was buried in Westminster Abbey, in an unmarked grave to the right of the High Altar, next to the door to the Confessor's Chapel.

Richard openly wept at her funeral.

There was no memorial to her until the late 20th century, when a bronze tablet was erected on a wall near her grave by the Richard III Society in 1960.
