the early months of 1484, Bridget was with her mother and older sisters in semi-confinement within the sanctuary. On 22 June 1483 the marriage of Edward IV with Elizabeth Woodville was declared illegal. All the children of the late king were declared illegitimate by the act of parliament Titulus Regius and deprived of the right to the throne and all titles.
