Wife and Children
About 1452, Sir John Grey married Elizabeth Woodville, the eldest daughter of Richard Woodville, 1st Earl Rivers, and Jacquetta of Luxembourg, widow of John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford.
They had two sons, Thomas, later Marquess of Dorset, and Richard aged about 23 when killed by Richard III.
Elizabeth later became the co-heiress of her brother, Richard Woodville, 3rd Earl Rivers.

Famous quotes related to wife and children:
“He sits, strong and blunt as a Celtic cross,
Clearly used to silence and an armchair:
Tonight the wife and children will be quiet
At slammed door and smokers cough in the hall.”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
