Don't know Game of Thrones at all.

No, I don’t know it either.
I agree Elizabeth would have known she would have no say in who she was married to. I don’t think there is any proof of the suggestion that she was to be married to Richard, other than a letter addressed to him, which could have been from her or her mother, assuring him of her devotion, or words to that effect. Not necessarily anything to do with marriage.
I think Henry might have been the husband from hell, whatever his mother was! Why do you say Elizabeth wanted to be queen,
Catlady? I should think the further away from court, the better.
