The political and dynastic importance of the marriage of Elizabeth of York and Henry VII in 1486 was much emphasized in Tudor historiography, chiefly from the perspective of the first Tudor monarch’s role as national saviour and restorer of the mythical British golden age. In this chapter, I will focus instead on how an interconnected network of English, Italian, and French poets at the Tudor court employed the conventions of humanist poetry to commemorate Elizabeth of York’s marriage to Henry VII (in Giovanni Gigli’s Epithalamium), the birth of her son Prince Arthur (in Bernard André’s Reginae Coronatae Praenosticum), and her untimely death (in Thomas More’s “Rufull Lamentation” and William Lily’s Latin and English epitaphs). While creating a new cultural identity for the last Plantagenet queen consort, these poets also constructed an enduring model of English queenship, which would be circulated within court circles and advertised to the wider public in the first part of the sixteenth century. Significantly, Elizabeth of York’s embodiment of the emerging Tudor political program profoundly shaped depictions of subsequent queens, including Catherine of Aragon, Margaret Tudor, Princess Mary, and Anne Boleyn, in both contemporary court poetry and civic pageantry.
