The very first commoner to marry a British monarch was Elizabeth Woodville, the widow of Sir John Grey of Groby, who married King Edward IV in 1464. Woodville was also the first Englishwoman to be crowned Queen, which happened on Ascension Day at Westminster Abbey on May 26, 1465.
She already had two sons from her marriage, but bore the King ten more children. This was the start of the House of York.
