Whom did Elizabeth's advancement incur the hostility of?
Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick
Henry VII
Richard III
Louis XI
Answer
The hostility of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, was incurred due to the rapid advancement and influence gained by Elizabeth Woodville, queen consort to King Edward IV of England. Her family's sudden rise to power and the king's favoritism towards them, particularly her brothers being granted significant positions and titles, created resentment among the old nobility, including Warwick, who felt marginalized and saw his own influence waning.
