The Beaufort Family

The Beaufort Family is a historical lineage from England, notable for its connection to the royal dynasties and the Wars of the Roses. Founded by John Beaufort, the family was originally ennobled in the 14th century. The Beauforts are particularly significant because one of their descendants, Henry VII, became the first king of the Tudor dynasty. Their ancestry includes ties to both the Lancasters and the Yorks, the two rival families in the Wars of the Roses, making the Beauforts key players in English history and royal succession.
