Elizabeth Woodville a commoner?

According to this article

...Edward had secretly been married to Elizabeth Woodville, a commoner...

But according to Elizabeth Woodville

Elizabeth was born circa 1437 at Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire, the daughter of Richard Wydeville, 1st Earl Rivers and Jacquetta of Luxembourg...

Thus her father was an earl. Moreover, according to Jacquetta of Luxembourg

Jacquetta of Luxembourg (1415/1416 – May 30, 1472) was the elder daughter of Peter I, Count of St Pol, Conversano and Brienne and his wife Margaret de Baux (Margherita del Balzo of Andria).

Thus her mother was a noblewoman as well. Also, according to Edward IV of England

...Edward then alienated Warwick by secretly marrying Elizabeth Woodville, who had a large group of relatively poor but very ambitious Lancastrian relations.

Thus Woodville was related to Lancastrian nobility. --Top.Squark (talk) 12:28, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Earl Ryvers wasn't a Earl when they married though I recall? Therefore she is of common birth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.3.82 (talk) 20:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

House of Lancaster involved?

How is house of Lancaster involved in the battle? On one side was William Herbert, who supported Edward IV for the throne, a Yorkist. On the other side was Richard Neville who supported George Plantagenet, another Yorkist. --Top.Squark (talk) 12:35, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

location: add map?

It certainly would enhance this article's quality if someone could add a map or two showing were in england this took place. Allsow, the question raised above(Lancaster's involvement) Is Neville really to be considered on the Lancaster side? It's a tad confusing and the article doesn't explain anything about this. --109.58.186.199 (talk) 12:46, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Page in need of revision

This entry is very out of date, and does not take into account any of the research published by the Northamptonshire Battlefields Society and Battlefields Trust in the 550th anniversary year.

I am going to re-write this entry completely over the next week or so, to correct the errors and add the extra information now avaialable to us.
