	Lady Margaret Beaufort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The name Beaufort was derived from the Gaunt’s castle and lordship in the Champagne for the benefit of the three boys and a girl born of his adulterous affair with Katherine prior to their marriage in 1396.
		Although John Beaufort was one of the poorest of the English earls, his fortunes were transformed when his wife, Margaret Holland, in 1408 became a co-heiress of the earldom of Kent, and it is these properties that descended to Margaret Beaufort that made her such a wealthy lady.
		Margaret was born 31 May 1443, just at a time when her father John, Duke of Somerset, was falling out of favour with Henry VI due to his conduct in an abortive attempt to bring to a head the Hundred Years War.

		Not only was Margaret Beaufort given to many acts of piety, to regular devotions, and to charitable beneficience, but the circumstances of her life also exposed her--from afar or at a distance--to figures currently and later revered for sanctity.
		A daughter of the Beaufort house born on the wrong side of the blanket during John of Gaunt's prolonged affair with Katharine Swynford, Margaret was naturally a Lancastrian by blood.
		Perhaps we could say that Lady Margaret Beaufort both enjoyed and was fit for the exercise of power, both spiritual and political, and that she saw no such contradictions between spirituality and clout.

		Even so, in regards to Margaret, one thing swaying my sympathy towards her - even though it was something that happened in these times- is the knowledge she was a 'child-mother'.
		As much an enigma in her own times as she is to ours, Margaret Beaufort was clearly ambitious for her only child born in the first of her three marriages.
		Margaret had a reputation for intelligence, and piety- after being widowed of her last husband she lived a life seemingly devoted to religion- founding several religious houses as well as colleges at Cambridge.

		The question of whether or not any of the Beaufort family were capable of inheriting the throne was academic until 1461 when Edward IV became king, since the main line of the Lancastrians unquestionably came before the Beauforts.
		The legitimation of the Beauforts, the children of John of Gaunt by Katherine Swynford, was initiated by Richard II in 1397 when he issued Letters Patent, subsequently read out by the Chancellor in Parliament, thus making it in effect an Act of Parliament.
		The third generation are represented by Margaret Beaufort, who as the mother of Henry VII, turned out to be the most significant member of the family, and by the four children of Edmund, the fourth Earl.
