Page "Elizabeth of York" Paragraph 15

The marriage proved successful and both partners appear to have cared for each other.

As queen, Elizabeth did not exercise much political influence, due to her strong-minded mother-in-law Lady Margaret Beaufort, but she was reported to be gentle and kind, and generous to her relations, servants and benefactors.

Elizabeth enjoyed music and dancing, as well as dicing.

She kept greyhounds, and she may have enjoyed hunting and archery.
