the answer is Elisabeth of york is henrys mother and Elisabeth II is henrys mothers mum
Elizabeth of York was the Queen of Henry VII, and the mother of Henry VIII. But the question is about Queen Elizabeth II, who is descended from Henry VIII 's father Henry VII and mother (Elizabeth of York) via their daughter Margaret who married into the Scottish royal family, then down through the Stuarts and successive Monarchs down to the present day. The confusion is that Elizabeth II 's parents were Duke and Duchess of York before becoming King and Queen, but they were never referred to simply as "of York".
