Edward of Middleham, Prince of Wales

Edward of Middleham, Prince of Wales (c. December 1473 or 1476  – 9 April 1484), was the son and heir apparent of King Richard III of England by his wife Anne Neville.

"[4] The act of Parliament that settled the dispute between George of Clarence and Richard over Anne Beauchamp's inheritance just as if the Countess of Warwick "was naturally dead" was dated May 1474.

[2] He was created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester in a splendid ceremony in York Minster on 8 September 1483, following his parents' royal progress across England.

The Croyland Chronicle reads: However, in a short time after, it was fully seen how vain are the thoughts of a man who desires to establish his interests without the aid of God.

A mutilated white alabaster cenotaph ("empty tomb")[14] in the Church of St Helen and the Holy Cross at Sheriff Hutton, with an effigy of a child, was long believed to represent Edward of Middleham, but is now thought to be an earlier work depicting one of the Neville family.
