Anne was formally betrothed to Queen Margaret's son, Edward of Westminster at the Château d'Amboise in France, and married in Angers Cathedral probably on 13 December 1470.
The Earl of Warwick, who had been dispatched by Margaret to England to restore King Henry to the throne, succeeded in this task but was defeated and killed in battle (battle of Barnet, April 1471) a few months later. Anne arrived back in England with her new husband and mother-in-law to find herself fatherless.
With the death of Prince Edward at the Battle of Tewkesbury on 4 May 1471, she was taken prisoner along with Queen Margaret. She was taken first to Coventry and then to the Duke of Clarence's house in London, where she became the subject of some dispute between Clarence and Richard. Since she and her sister Isabel were heiresses to their father's Neville estates, her sister and Clarence were not keen to see her married and strengthen her position to claim them.
Clarence, married to Anne's sister and anxious to secure the whole Neville inheritance, treated her as his ward. His brother, Richard (later Richard III of England) is said to have tracked her down and escorted her to sanctuary at the Church of St Martin le Grand. They were married early the following year and left for Middleham Castle.
