Editing Jane Shore (section)

== Open penance and prison ==
Lambert is also known to have two other lovers, Edward IV's eldest stepson, [[Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset]], and [[William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings]]. Grey's wife was the wealthy heiress [[Cecily Bonville, 7th Baroness Harington]], who also happened to be Hastings' stepdaughter. Shore was instrumental in bringing about the alliance between Hastings and the Woodvilles, which was formed while [[Richard III|Richard, Duke of Gloucester]], was Protector, before he took the throne as King Richard III. She was accused of carrying messages between Hastings and Edward IV's widow, [[Elizabeth Woodville]]. It was because of her role in this alliance that Shore was charged with conspiracy, along with Hastings and the Woodvilles, against the Protector's government.<ref name="kendall248">Kendall, p. 248.</ref>
