John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset, Marquess of Dorset and Somerset (1373-1410)
born circa 1373
died 21 April 1410 Tower of London
married 23 April 1399
Lady Margaret de Holand
born 1385
died 30 December 1439 Bermondsey Abbey

Illegitimate eldest son of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and Catherine Swynford, he was however legitimised in 1397 after their marriage. He was the first to bear the name of Beaufort which John of Gaunt chose for his children by Catherine Swynford. Also in 1397 he became Earl of Somerset, Marquess of Somerset as well as Marquess of Dorset.
In 1399 when his half-brother, Henry Bolingbroke, became King Henry IV, he was deprived of his marquisates as well as from his right to inherit the crown of England, but under King Henry IV he became chamberlain of England and captain of Calais.

Made Earl of Somerset and marquess of Dorset.

John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset (c. 1373 - March 16, 1410) was the first of the four children of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and his mistress (later his wife) Katherine Swynford. Beaufort was born in about 1373 and his surname probably reflects his birthplace, his father's Beaufort Castle in Anjou, France. The family emblem was the portcullis which is shown on the back of a 1p coin. John of Gaunt had his nephew Richard II of England declare the Beaufort children legitimate in 1390, with the important proviso that they were barred from the succession to the throne, despite being the grandchildren of Edward III of England. It is thought that this may have been a "private" act (that is, not entered in the public records), because, in January 1397, the Duke had Parliament issue a similar declaration, with the same proviso. Later that month, Gaunt married Katherine although they had been living apart for some years, possibly in order to have their children publicly declared legitimate. While this legal wrangling ultimately caused an enormous amount of bloodshed and destruction, it did result in one of the Beaufort descendants ascending the throne as Henry VII.

John Beaufort was created Earl of Somerset on February 10, 1397. On September 28 of that year he married Margaret Holland, daughter of Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent; the next day he was created Marquess of Somerset and Dorset. Also sometime that year he was made a Knight of the Garter. He lost the two marquessates in 1399 after the accession of Henry IV. In 1404 he was Constable of England.

He and his wife had six children:

Henry Beaufort, 2nd Earl of Somerset (c. 1401 - November 25, 1418).
John Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset (baptized March 25, 1404 - May 27, 1444).
Thomas Beaufort, Earl of Perche (c. 1405 - 1432).
Joan Beaufort (c. 1406 - July 15, 1445), who married James I of Scotlan
Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset (c. 1406 - May 22, 1455).
Margaret Beaufort (c. 1409 - 1449). Married Thomas de Courtenay, 5th Earl of Devon.

John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset (1373 – March 16, 1410) was the first of the four illegitimate children of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and his mistress Katherine Swynford, later his wife. Beaufort was born in about 1371 and his surname probably reflects his father's lordship of Beaufort in Champagne, France.[1]

The family emblem was the portcullis which is shown on the reverse of a modern British 1p coin. John of Gaunt had his nephew Richard II of England declare the Beaufort children legitimate in 1390,[2] Gaunt married their mother in January 1396. Despite being the grandchildren of Edward III of England, and next in the line of succession after the Lancasters, their father's legitimate children, by agreement they were barred from the succession to the throne.[3]
In 1396, after his parents' marriage, John and his siblings were legitimated by a papal bull. Early the next year, their legitimation was recognized by an act of Parliament, and then, a few days later, John was created Earl of Somerset (February 10, 1397).[4]

That summer the new Earl was one of the noblemen who helped Richard II free himself from the power of the Lords Appellant. As a reward on September 29 he was created Marquess of Dorset, and sometime later that year he was made a Knight of the Garter and appointed Lieutenant of Ireland. In addition, two days before his elevation as a Marquess he married the King's niece, Margaret Holland, sister of the 3rd earl of Kent, another of the counter-appellants.[4]

He remained in the King's favour even after his half-brother Henry (later Henry IV) was banished. In February 1397 he was appointed Admiral of the Irish fleet, as well as constable of Dover and Warden of the Cinque Ports. In May his Admiralty was extended to include the northern fleet.
Somerset and his wife Margaret Holland, the daughter of the Earl of Kent, had six children; his granddaughter Lady Margaret Beaufort married a descendant of Catherine of Valois by Owen Tudor, creating a powerful branch of the Lancastrian family and enabling Henry VII to claim the throne in spite of the agreement barring the Beaufort family from the succession.

Somerset died in the Hospital of St. Katherine-by-the-Tower. He was buried in St. Michael's chapel in Canterbury Cathedral.

His children included:

Henry Beaufort, 2nd Earl of Somerset ( 1401 – November 25, 1418).
John Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset (baptized March 25, 1404 – May 27, 1444).
Joan Beaufort, Queen of Scotland (1404 – July 15, 1445).
Thomas Beaufort, Earl of Perche (1405–1432).
Edmund Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset (1406 – May 22, 1455).
Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Devon (1409–1449). Married Thomas de Courtenay, 13th Earl of Devon.
