Her first marriage was dissolved, and Margaret would always refer to Edmund as her first husband. She was just 12 years old, while Edmund was 24. Edmund was the eldest, and they married on 1 November 1455. He probably had a marriage between Margaret and one of the Tudor brothers in mind. He also ordered Margaret’s wardship to be granted to his half-brothers, Edmund and Jasper Tudor. In April, they attended the St George’s Day celebrations of the Order of the Garter at Windsor Castle, and young Margaret received money from the King for clothes. įor now, Margaret remained with her mother, but in February 1453 Margaret’s mother was summoned to court, and she brought her daughter with her. He was exiled, but his ship was intercepted, and he was murdered on. Margaret was, after all, a potential heir to the throne, and William was now accused of treason. For William, the marriage was the final nail in the coffin. Between 28 January and 7 February, he had his eldest son John de la Pole marry Margaret but they probably never lived together as man and wife. By 1450, William de la Pole found himself deeply unpopular and on 28 January the commons in parliament ordered his arrest. Her mother would have been responsible for her early education. Margaret was now a wealthy heiress, and Margaret’s wardship automatically passed to the King as was usual and he granted it to William de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk, although Margaret remained with her mother for now. Her father was the second son of John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset, the eldest son of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster by his mistress and later his wife, Katherine Swynford. Margaret had seven half-siblings from her mother’s first marriage to Sir Oliver St John and would later have another half-brother from her mother’s third marriage to Lionel de Welles, 6th Baron Welles. The Earl of Warwick liked to think of himself as a Kingmaker, but it was Jasper Tudor, doing it quietly and simply out of loyalty, who was a Dynasty Maker.Lady Margaret Beaufort was born on at Bletso as the daughter of Margaret Beauchamp and John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset. He was present throughout the Wars of the Roses, and managed to not only survive, but keep his nephew alive in exile as well, no small feat. He is largely to thank for the fact that the Tudors came to power. It’s in part thanks to the fact that he never had children, he is largely forgotten today.Perhaps they were star crossed lovers who were never able to be together thanks to fate. She was a decade and a half younger than he was, and he never seems to have felt anything more than a brotherly affection for her.
But they have never been proven, and in fact they seem pretty far fetched. There have been rumors of an alleged relationship with Lady Margaret (see the White Queen series, for example). He only married very late in life, after his nephew became King.One imagines him living this adrenaline-filled life filled with daring adventures, all in the name of remaining loyal to his house of Lancaster, and protecting his nephew.

He once escaped another castle by dressing as a peasant and leaving in full daylight. There was one time when a castle was being besieged that he snuck in to be able to fight.
