This talk explores the remarkable legacy of Katherine Swynford. The Beauforts—a family born in scandal but destined to shape the course of English history. From their legitimisation by royal decree to their decisive roles in the Wars of the Roses and the rise of the Tudors, this fascinating story traces how a love affair became a dynastic turning point. We’ll uncover how the Beaufort line influenced royal succession, politics, and power, leaving an indelible mark on the English crown.
Baz delivers regular talks on 14th century medieval history and has spoken to U3A groups across England. He is currently writing a biography of Joan Beaufort.
