In 1469, Elizabeth was pregnant with her third child, later Cecily. Though I didn't exactly like her I must admit she was fertile. Anyway she was pregnant when there was a couple of uprisings up north. They were in Warwick's territory but no one thought much of them. George was away, I believe but I was there, loyal brother as always.
Edward was reluctant to leave his wife but went north to sort it all out. I went too, of course.
It was madness. Warwick was behind it and George too.
Remember those Neville girls, Isabel and Anne. Well, George, my brother, married the elder Isabel. Without the King's permission. Obviously it was going to be "a firm alliance". Well what about George's loyalty to me and Edward? Surely that should come first? What about everything's we went through together? Well, Edward and I were loyal together.
And of course the Queen was always there, whispering in her husband's ear or whispering to her brother, Anthony. Poison, it was all poison.
And witchcraft. She can say what she likes but we all know she cast a spell on me.
And that she is very guilty of being a witch.
