Elizabeth Scales, 8th Baroness Scales

Her second marriage to Anthony Woodville, 2nd Earl Rivers produced no children.

[2] The earl was a sibling of Elizabeth Woodville, queen consort of Edward IV.

After Elizabeth died in 1473, Anthony married a daughter of Henry FitzLewis named Mary, but remained without legitimate issue.

The Barony of Scales went to his youngest brother, Edward Woodville, but Richard III ignored this provision and the title fell into abeyance.

[citation needed] In 1485, John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford and William Tynedale became heirs to the Scales' estate.
