Elizabeth Woodville was the wife of Edward IV, the Queen of England from the early 1460s until 9 April 1483, and therefore a major player in the Wars of the Roses. Her sons, the eldest of which was the un-crowned Edward V, were collectively known as "the Princes in the Tower". After the death of her husband, her brother-in-law Richard III of England locked them away in the Tower of London, and their ultimate fate was an historical mystery that the Fifth Doctor — and for about two years, Peri and Erimem — investigated.
