A while back we were discussing the question of whether Richard attended Anne's funeral and I half-remembered a book that would probably answer that question. I stumbled on the answer by accident in trying to find out whether Livia Visser-Fuchs is still alive (still don't know that answer). The book is Anne F. Sutton and Livia Visser-Fuchs, "The Royal Funerals of the House of York at Windsor," Richrd III Society, 2005. Anne wasn't buried at Windsor, so it might not mention her funeral specifically, but it should answer the question about whether a husband would attend a wife's funeral and vice versa. I'm almost certain that Bridget of York was allowed out of her nunnery to attend her mother's funeral. Someone with a biography of Henry VII (I don't own one) could check whether he attended Elizabeth of York's (perhaps hidden behind a screen as at her coronation).
