i HAVE RECENTLY READ AN ARTICLE about RICHARD III,which says that his marriage to Anne Neville was illegal, because his brother George was married to Isabella,Anne 's sister,(In those days,it seems that marrying any kind of in-law was in the forbidden degrees of marriage,even 3rd cousins etc needed special dispension).
After Anne's death,he wanted to marry Elizabeth of York,his niece!
IS THIS TRUE?
