After reading “Katherine” by Anya Seton in college I became aware of Joan Beaufort, her parents and her brothers and then began to learn everything I could about them. What an interesting family! Considering that they were initially proclaimed illegitimate it still amazes me that because of their descendants and the unpredictable vagaries of history, the family symbol-the portcullis (a huge iron gate at the entrances to castles that could be lowered to trap enemy soldiers before they got inside the castle proper)-is seen everywhere in Westminster Abbey, Westminster Hall, and in all of the palaces where the Tudors, some of her and her brothers’ descendants, lived. Thanks for an interesting look at her life. Should I have the opportunity to visit Lincoln Cathedral (it’s on my bucket list) I will make my respects to Joan and her mother Katherine first of all.
I did not know Joan Beaufort was the grandmother of both Edward IV, Richard III and Richard Warwick (Kingmaker). I've been fascinated by the War of Roses all my adult life. How the illegitimate children of the royal family affected history is a study in it's own right. Joan appeared to be a pivotal person.
