Notes:
[large-G675.FTW]
There were four children of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, by his mistress, Catherine (Roet) Swynford, whom Gaunt later married (on 13 January 1396) as his third wife, at which time their four (grown) children were legitimized, taking the surname Beaufort. After John of Gaunt's death, however, the four Beauforts were barred from succession to the English throne by their half-brother King
Henry IV. Nevertheless, John Beaufort's (the eldest of the four children) great-grandson Henry (VII) Tudor was able to win the throne in 1485 partly by virtue of his descent, through John Beaufort from the Lancastrian Plantagenets.
John married Margaret De Holand before 28 Sep 1397 in Upholland, Lancashire, England. Margaret (daughter of Thomas De Holand Earl Of Kent, II and Baroness Cherle Alice Fitz Fitzalan, Of Arundel) was born about 1385 in Upholland, Lancashire; died on 30 Dec 1439 in St. Saviours Abbey, Bermondsey, London, Middlesex, England.
