Died on this day in 1532 aged 53 Elizabeth Stafford (my toy,wikipedia). Daughter of Catherine Woodville, who was the sister of Elizabeth Woodville (wife of Edward IV); Elizabeth was also descended from John of Gaunt through her father. Elizabeth married the Earl of Sussex and had 3 sons and seems mostly to have avoided political hot water.
Born on this day in 1366 to Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and Elizabeth of Pomerania, Anne of Bohemia (my toy,wikipedia). Wife of Richard II (also his 4th cousin) and a descendant of Stephen. The marriage was arranged largely due to the schism between rival popes, and was unpopular at the time as Anne showed up without any money (and indeed money went the other way, most unusual). She doesn't seem to have really done very much.
