Blanche of England

In January 1401 Henry IV held a tournament at Eltham Palace to honour the visit of Manuel II Palaiologos.[3] After his accession to the English throne, King Henry IV wanted to make important alliances in order to maintain and legitimise his rule.[4] The marriage contract was signed on 7 March 1401 in London; the bride's dowry was fixed in the amount of 40,000 Nobeln (over 300 kg of gold).One year later, pregnant with her second child, she died of fever in Haguenau, Alsace and was buried in the Church of St. Mary (today St. Aegidius) in Neustadt in the Palatinate.Her widower became Elector Palatine as Louis III in 1410 after the death of his father King Rupert and in 1417 married Matilda, daughter of Amadeo, Prince of Achaea, member of the House of Savoy, who bore him five children.
