ABSTRACT

Notes (1) Catherine Swynford had at least three other children not shown. (2) John D. of Somerset’s brother Edmund succeeded to the dukedom and died in 1455. (3) As will be seen, Henry VII, though claiming to represent both York and Lancaster (a claim symbolised by the combined and white Tudor rose) had in fact no Lancastrian rights save through the Clarence and York lines by default of heirs to the Lancaster family in 1471.
