I really could use some hmwk help. I've been researching her for a while now and I keep running into dead ends. She was also known as Elizabeth Shore...Thanks a lot in advance.What are the varied presentations of the historical figure Jane Shore %26amp; what was her role in the yr 1483??
She was the mistress of Edward IV; he didn't discard her and the relationship ended when he died. Read more about her in this article (sorry about its being Wiki):

After Edward's death (1483) she became the mistress of Thomas Grey, 1st marquess of Dorset, and then of Lord Hastings. Probably only out of political motives, she was accused of sorcery (1483) by Richard III, placed in the Tower of London, and later forced to do public penance as a harlot.
