BEAUFORT

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 585 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BEAUFORT , the name of the family descended from the union of John of Gaunt, duke of
Lancaster
 , with Catherine, wife of Sir Hugh Swynford, taken from a castle in Anjou which belonged to John of Gaunt. There were four children of this unionJohn, created
earl
  of Somerset and marquess of Dorset;
Henry
 , after-wards bishop of Winchester and cardinal (see BEAUFORT,
HENRY
 ) ; Thomas, made duke of
Exeter
  and chancellor; and Joan, who married Ralph Neville, first
earl
  of Westmorland, and died in 1440. In 1396, some years after the
birth
  of these children, John of Gaunt and Catherine were married, and in 1397 the Beauforts were declared legitimate by King Richard II. In 1407 this action was confirmed by their half-brother, King Henry IV., but on this occasion they were expressly excluded from the succession to the English throne.
