The family was descended from the strongest Welsh clans; Owen Tudor, the first man to use the surname, was a direct eighth-generation descendent of Llewelyn the Great and Joan (daughter of King John).
Their first son, Edmund Tudor, was made thirteenth Earl of Richmond in 1453, and married Margaret Beaufort (great-granddaughter of John of Gaunt) in 1455, creating yet another link to the Plantagenet line.

 Vallieres. Tudor Succession Problems.
The Tudor dynasty was plagued by poor health, short-lives and a shortage of male claimants to the throne.
While the Tudor period is generally viewed as a one of stability, the recurring succession difficulties created instability and often posed the threat of civil war and even foreign invasion.
The succession problems of the Tudor monarchs were largely caused by their lack of issue, for none of Henry VIII's children had children, poor health and were complicated by plots arising from the uncertainty of the succession, foreign affairs, and the wishes of the monarchs of the periods in relation to Henry VIII's will.

 Owen Tudor
Owen (or Owain) Tudor (~1400-1461) was 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 Katherine of Valois, widow of King Henry V of England.
He was assigned to her service after the king's death, when Katherine, 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.
