Both before and after his accession to the throne Catherine was on several occasions proposed as a bride for
Edward IV of England. The marriage negotiations came to nothing, and Edward went on to astonish his own people, and the Courts of Europe, by marrying for love
Elizabeth Woodville, the daughter of an obscure
knight. On 28 December 1463 in
Bruges, she married
Adolf II, Duke of Guelders, who succeeded his father
Arnold as Duke of Guelders in 1465. Catherine and Adolf had twin children: •
Philippa (1467-1547), who married in 1485 with
René II, Duke of Lorraine (1451-1508) •
Charles (1467-1538), who later became Duke of Guelders (1492–1538) Catherine died in 1469 and was buried in the St. Stephen Church in
Nijmegen. == References ==
