    Jacquetta of Luxembourg lived a life that few could imagine. Born into one of Europe’s most powerful families, she claimed descent from the mythical Melusina. She shocked the English court by marrying for love, faced accusations of witchcraft, and became the mother of Elizabeth Woodville, Queen of England. Her choices and alliances set the stage for the rise of the Tudor dynasty, with her descendants shaping English history for centuries.
