TUDOR

Notes: a Welsh soldier and courtier, directly descended from the Lord Rhys but remembered only because of his role in founding the Tudor dynasty and for his relationship with Catherine of Valois, widow of King Henry V of England. He was assigned to her service after the King's death, when Catherine, being French and therefore distrusted, was removed from court and denied any part in the upbringing of her son, the infant King Henry VI. She and Owen are sometimes said to have been secretly married, though there is no documentary evidence of this. They certainly had at least five children, including Jasper and Edmund Tudor, who would father the future King Henry VII. As a man of advanced years, Owen fought for the Lancastrians at the Battle of Mortimer's Cross, following which he was beheaded along with other prisoners. It is said that he expected a reprieve because of his relationship with the former royal family, and that he did not believe he would die until the collar was ripped off his doublet by the executioner - at which point he is alleged to have said that "the head which used to lie in Queen Catherine's lap, would now lie in the executioner's basket".

Died: 3 Nov 1456, Carmarthen Castle, Wales

Buried: St David's Cathedral, Wales

Notes: born either at Much Hadham Palace in Hertfordshire or at Hadham in Bedfordshire, an older son of Owen Tudor and Catherine of Valois. It is not known for certain whether he was born legitimately after his parents were secretly married. Whatever the case, his mother died in 1437, but his half-brother, King Henry VI recognised him, creating him Earl of Richmond in 1452. In 1455, he married Margaret Beaufort, a daughter of the legitimised John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset. She was twelve years old at the time, and became pregnant in the following year. However, with the beginnings of the Wars of the Roses, Richmond was captured by the Yorkist Herbert family. They imprisoned him at Carmarthen Castle in south Wales, where he caught the plague and died. Henry, his only child, was born more than two months after his death.
