She became queen consort by marrying King Henry VII, uniting the rival Houses of York and Lancaster after the Wars of the Roses, which helped stabilize England. Elizabeth was known for her strong sense of duty, religious devotion, and support for her family and political stability. Her marriage symbolized national unity, and she played a key role in fostering her children's royal claims, including her son, Henry VIII. Elizabeth's legacy includes strengthening the Tudor dynasty and promoting peace following years of conflict.
