Princess Leia of Hungary was the wife of Prince Edmund Plantagenet, and a Princess of Hungary.
Biography
She was originally engaged with Edmund's brother Prince Harry - along with many other women. In 1492, following a series of political reversals that scuttered King Richard IV's plans to marry his second son Edmund to the Spanish Infanta, the King sought to form an alliance with Hungary by marrying Prince Edmund to the eight-year-old Leia, instead, as she was the only princess of Hungary present at the court. They were married soon afterwards.
Although she seemed unconcerned by Edmund's near burning-at-the-stake in 1495, there was no indication that the marriage did not last. She was not seen at Court when virtually all of England's nobility (including Edmund) was killed by poisoning, so it is assumed that she survived. If so, she was queen of England for the 30 seconds, that Edmund outlived his father and brother.
