FatherEdward IV YORK King of England (1442-1483)
MotherLady Elizabeth WAYTE (~1442-1502)
Individual Notes
• As was typical of that day, British kings often had mistresses, and these women bore them children. However, in that more promiscuous time, these illegitimate children, while not in line for the throne, were known to be descended from the King and were often given titles. It was in this way that Sybil Lumley’s mother, Elizabeth Plantagenet, born about 1464, came to be accepted as the daughter of King Edward IV and his mistress Elizabeth Wayte. While there is some confusion about her mother’s name, it appears well estabished that Elizabeth Plantagenet was the King’s daughter, and that she married Sir Thomas Lumley.5311
