Eleanor Butler’s Tinder Profile: Swipe Right for a Forgotten Queen

Elizabeth Woodville may have won Edward IV’s crown, but Eleanor Butler had her own claim to his heart. Some said she was secretly married to the king before Elizabeth, a scandal that would later shake the throne. Overlooked in history, she deserves her own spotlight. So what would Eleanor’s Tinder profile look like?

Name: Lady Eleanor Butler

Age: 25

Location: Shrewsbury, but always close to power

Occupation: Noblewoman, widow, maybe the king’s first wife

About Me:

Born into one of England’s great families, I know my worth. Edward swore he loved me, maybe even married me, but history wrote me out of the story. I am proof that love at court was never just romance, it was politics. Looking for recognition, loyalty, and a little honesty from the men who promise everything.

Interests:

• Courtly romance

• Secret vows

• Being remembered in history

• Watching queens squirm

Red Flags:

🚩 Allegedly married to a king in secret

🚩 Forgotten when a prettier bride appeared

🚩 Used as a weapon in the fight for the throne

🚩 Too inconvenient for chroniclers to remember

They say I was Edward’s first wife, though history forgot me when Elizabeth Woodville wore the crown. In White Rose I appear again, though Alys does not care for me at all. Perhaps she sees me as a rival, perhaps she is right. If you want to uncover how dangerous love and ambition could be, you will find me there. White Rose, and Red Rose

Next up: Clarence, Edward’s brother, whose taste for power (and wine) would be his downfall.
