David Tee - AncientPages.com - History has a way of hiding the truth and letting myths and legends ascend to prominence. Very little credible information about Anne Neville's survival. What does survive are a lot of tall tales, myths, and legends about her life.
It is difficult to get to the truth and see if her life was one tragic event after another or if she let her aspirations maneuver her into difficult situations.
It is difficult to say how sad her life really was. She was born into a wealthy and politically influential family. Her father was known as the Kingmaker, which gives you an idea of her status in life.
Ann Neville's life was not born from poverty. She was born on June 11, 1456, in Warwick Castle. Her formative years were spent with her older sister and Richard of Gloucester, the younger brother of Edward IV.
From her position, she could watch her father determine who would be crowned the next King. This privilege, though, did not spare her any drama or her share of tragedy.
