King Henry had Cecily’s marriage to Scrope dissolved sometime in 1486. Margaret Beaufort arranged a marriage for her with her own half-brother, John, Viscount Welles. John’s father, Lionel, Lord Welles, was the third husband of Margaret’s mother, and it is possible she considered Lionel a father figure. The viscount was penniless because of an attainder put in place during the reign of Edward IV, and lived with Margaret’s mother, the dowager duchess of Somerset.

As early as 1473, her father considered a marriage alliance between England and Scotland. The agreement formally betrothed Cecily by proxy in a ceremony in Edinburgh on October 26, 1474, to the infant son of James III, King of Scots, the future James IV. King Edward planned on invading France and needed peace with the Scots before leaving the country.

Born on March 20, 1469, Cecily was the third daughter and child of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. We can presume they named her after her paternal grandmother, Cecily Neville, Duchess of York. She was nursed by Isabel Stidolf, the wife of one of Elizabeth Woodville’s servants. She grew up together with her elder sisters, Elizabeth and Mary, to whom she was very close, although Mary of York, the second sister, died in 1482.
