Sir Edmund Tudor -
English Aristocracy. He was the 1st Earl of Richmond and father of King Henry VII of England. He was the older son of Owen Tudor and Catherine of Valois who was the former wife of King Henry V of England. It is not known for sure if he was born at Much Hadham Palace in Hertfordshire or at Hadham in Bedfordshire. King Henry VI recognized him as Earl of Richmond in November 1452. He married Lady Margaret Beaufort of the powerful Beaufort family in November of 1455 when she was only twelve years old. It was in the beginning of the Wars of the Roses that he was captured by the Yorkist Herbert family. He was imprisoned at Carmarthen Castle in South Wales where he caught the plague and died. King Henry VII, his only child, was born at Pembroke Castle only two months after his death.

Sir Owen Tudor (Welsh: Owain ap Maredudd ap Tudur,[a] c. 1400 – 2 February 1461) was a Welsh courtier and the second husband of Queen Catherine of Valois (1401–1437), widow of King Henry V of England. He was the grandfather of Henry VII, founder of the Tudor dynasty.
Henry V of England died on 31 August 1422, leaving his wife, Queen Catherine, widowed.[5] The dowager queen initially lived with her infant son, King Henry VI, before moving to Wallingford Castle early in his reign.
Catherine was rumoured to have had an affair with Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset. These rumours, though based on questionable evidence, prompted a response from her son's regents, who objected to Somerset as a possible husband as he was a second cousin of Henry V through the legitimised Beaufort line sired by John of Gaunt. A parliamentary statute regulating the remarriage of widowed queens[how?] was passed. She subsequently married Owen Tudor[1] and gave birth to three sons: Edmund, Jasper and Edward (see below).[6][7]
Historian G. L. Harriss suggested that the affair with Beaufort resulted in the birth of Edmund Tudor. Harriss wrote, "By its very nature the evidence for Edmund Tudor's parentage is less than conclusive, but such facts, as can be assembled, permit an agreeable possibility that Edmund 'Tudor' and Margaret Beaufort were first cousins and that the royal house of 'Tudor' sprang in fact from Beauforts on both sides."
Following Queen Catherine's death, Owen Tudor lost the protection from the statute on dowager queens' remarriage and was imprisoned in Newgate Prison.[9] In 1438 he escaped but was later recaptured and held in the custody of the constable of Windsor Castle.

- [S1024] Wikipedia: Catherine of Valois, (Name: Wikipedia;), Catherine of Valois or Catherine of France.
Catherine was Queen of England from 1420 until 1422. A daughter of Charles VI of France, she was married to Henry V of England[1] and gave birth to his heir Henry VI of England. Catherine's marriage was part of a plan to eventually place Henry V on the throne of France, and perhaps end what is now known as the Hundred Years' War, but although her son Henry VI was later crowned in Paris, this ultimately failed.
After Henry V's death, Catherine's later marriage with Owen Tudor proved the springboard of the Tudor family's fortunes, eventually leading to their grandson's elevation as Henry VII of England.[2] Catherine's older sister Isabella was also a Queen of England as the child bride of Richard II.
