Joan Beaufort (c. 1404 - 15 July 1445), was Queen Consort of the Kingdom of Scotland from 1424 to 1437, being married to James I of Scotland.
She was a daughter of John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset and Margaret Holland. Her paternal grandparents were John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and his mistress and later third wife Katherine Swynford. Her maternal grandparents were Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent and Alice Fitzalan. Alice was a daughter of Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel and Eleanor of Lancaster.
On 2 February 1424 at Southwark Cathedral, Joan married James I, shortly before he was formally crowned. They were feasted at Winchester Palace that year by her uncle Henry Cardinal Beaufort. She is said to have been the inspiration of James's famous long poem, The Kingis Quair. They had eight children, including the future James II, and Margaret of Scotland, wife of Louis XI of France. After James I was assassinated in 1437, she took over the regency for her son.

During his imprisonment in England, James I, King of Scots, fell in love with her and wrote of her in his poem "The Kingis Quair" ('The King's quire-filling poem', or one of 24sheets---a quire). Eventually, by the Treaty of London in December 1423, it was agreed that James I should be released for a ransom of £40,000. In February1424, before his return to Scotland, he married her and they became the parentsof eight children. After an imprisonment of eighteen years, James I was determined to enforce the rule of law, which meant disaster for those who had ruledin his absence. Resentment grew against his tough style of government and, in February 1437 when the King and his court were in residence in Perth, a plot ledby Sir Robert Graham caused the murder of the King. Queen Joan, who had beenbadly wounded while trying to protect her husband, took a terrible revenge. SirRobert Graham and his fellow conspirators were soon captured and put to deathwith indescribable barbarity, unusual even for that cruel age. In 1439, probably against her will, she married Sir James Stewart, known at "the Black Knightof Lorne", and they produced three more sons.
Overlooking Dunbar Harbour are the fragmentary remains of what was once one of the mightiest castles in Scotland. The ruins are in a dangerous and precarious state and access has not beenallowed since part of them collapsed into the sea in 1993. This is a castle best viewed from a distance. Defences were built on this rocky outcrop by the Votanidi tribe during the Romans' excursions into Scotland (see our Historical Timeline >) and it was a Northumbrian stronghold in 650AD. It was later a Pictishfortress until captured by the Scots under Kenneth MacAlpin in 849AD. The first stone castle was probably constructed by the Earl of Dunbar in the 1070s. Dunbar Castle was unsuccessfully attacked by the English in 1214, but Edward I had better luck in 1296. And Edward II sheltered at Dunbar Castle after the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. But perhaps Dunbar's most famous moment came in 1338when "Black Agnes", the Countess of Moray, commanded the defence of the castleduring a five month siege by the English. The castle was rebuilt in the early1400s, repelling another English siege in 1435 before being badly damaged by them in 1448. In 1488 it was slighted by the Scots to prevent its use by the English. Rebuilding in 1515 was followed by another English attack in 1548, and byfurther fortification by the French in 1550. On 24 April 1567 Mary Queen of Scots was brought to Dunbar Castle by the Earl of Bothwell after his abduction of her, and the two later returned to the castle after their marriage on 15 May.After the Queen's subsequent surrender and abdication, the Scottish Parliamentordered the destruction of a castle so strong its possession destabilised thebalance of power in Scotland. The final indignity for Dunbar Castle came withthe construction of the Victoria Harbour in 1844. A new entrance for Dunbar's harbours was blasted through the end of the rock on which the castle ruins stood: indeed, the process of firing explosives by electricity was invented especially for the job. Less well known and less spectacular than Dunbar Castle, but much better preserved, is the later battery which lies at the north east cornerof the Victoria Harbour. This overlooked and protected the original entrance toDunbar Harbour and now provides a good viewpoint for the town, harbours and castle.

[Wikipedia, "Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland", retrieved 23 Dec 07]
Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland (c. 1379-13 November 1440), was the fourth child (and only daughter) of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and his mistress Katherine Swynford. She was born at the Chateau de Beaufort in Anjou, France (from where the Beaufort children derive their surname). In 1391, at the age of twelve, Joan married Robert Ferrers, 3rd Baron Ferrers of Wemme, and they had two daughters before he died about 1395. Along with her three brothers, Joan had been privately declared legitimate by their cousin Richard II of England in 1390, but for various reasons their father secured another such declaration from Parliament in January 1397. Joan was already an adult when she was legitimized by the marriage of her mother and father with papal approval. The Beauforts were later barred from inheriting the throne by a clause inserted into the legitimation act by their half-brother, Henry IV of England. Soon after this declaration, on 3 February 1397, when she was eighteen, Joan married Ralph de Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, who had also been married once before.
When Ralph de Neville died in 1425, his lands and titles should, by law of rights, have passed on to his eldest surviving son from his first marriage, another Ralph de Neville. Instead, while the title of Earl of Westmorland and several manors were passed to Ralph, the bulk of his rich estate went to his wife, Joan Beaufort. Although this may have been done to ensure that his widow was well provided for; by doing this, Ralph essentially split his family into two, and the result was years of bitter conflict between Joan and her step-children, who fiercely contested her acquisition of their father's lands. Joan however, with her royal blood and connections, was far too powerful to be called to account, and the senior branch of the Nevilles received little redress for their grievances. Inevitably, when Joan died, the lands would be inherited by her own children.
Joan died on 13 November 1440 at Howden in Yorkshire. Rather than be buried with her husband Ralph (who was buried with his first wife) she was entombed next to her mother in the magnificent sanctuary of Lincoln Cathedral. Joan's is the smaller of the two tombs; both were decorated with brass plates ? full-length representations of them on the tops, and small shields bearing coats of arms around the sides ? but those were damaged or destroyed in 1644 during the English Civil War. A 1640 drawing of them survives, showing what the tombs looked like when they were intact, and side-by-side instead of end-to-end, as they are now.
Joan Beaufort was the grandmother of Edward IV of England and Richard III of England, whom Henry VII defeated to take the throne. (Henry then married Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV, and their son became Henry VIII of England).
Children of Joan Beaufort and Ralph Neville:
They had fourteen children:
- Lady Katherine Neville, married first on January 12, 1411 John Mowbray, 2nd Duke of Norfolk; married second Sir Thomas Strangways; married third John Beaumont, 1st Viscount Beaumont; married fourth Sir John Woodville (d. August 12, 1469).
- Lady Eleanor Neville (d. 1472), married first Richard le Despencer, 4th Baron Burghersh, married second Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland
- Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury (1400?1460)
- Robert Neville (d. 1457), Bishop of Durham
- William Neville, 1st Earl of Kent (d. 1463)
- Edward Nevill, 3rd Baron Bergavenny (d. 1476)
- Anne Neville (?1411-1480), married Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham
- Cecily Neville (1415-1495) ("Proud Cis"), married Richard, 3rd Duke of York and mothered Kings Edward IV of England and Richard III of England
- George Neville, 1st Baron Latymer (d. 1469)
- John Neville, died young
- Cuthbert Neville, died young
- Thomas Neville, died young
- Henry Neville, died young

!Title is; Countess ofWestmoreland.

Joan Beaufort (c. 1404 - 15 July 1445), was Queen Consort of the Kingdom of Scotland from 1424 to 1437, being married to James I of Scotland.
She was a daughter of John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset and Margaret Holland. Her paternal grandparents were John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and his mistress and later third wife Katherine Swynford. Her maternal grandparents were Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent and Alice Fitzalan. Alice was a daughter of Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel and Eleanor of Lancaster.
On 2 February 1424 at Southwark Cathedral, Joan married James I, shortly before he was formally crowned. They were feasted at Winchester Palace that year by her uncle Henry Cardinal Beaufort. She is said to have been the inspiration of James's famous long poem, The Kingis Quair. They had eight children, including the future James II, and Margaret of Scotland, wife of Louis XI of France. After James I was assassinated in 1437, she took over the regency for her son.

During his imprisonment in England, James I, King of Scots, fell in love with her and wrote of her in his poem "The Kingis Quair" ('The King's quire-filling poem', or one of 24sheets---a quire). Eventually, by the Treaty of London in December 1423, it was agreed that James I should be released for a ransom of £40,000. In February1424, before his return to Scotland, he married her and they became the parentsof eight children. After an imprisonment of eighteen years, James I was determined to enforce the rule of law, which meant disaster for those who had ruledin his absence. Resentment grew against his tough style of government and, in February 1437 when the King and his court were in residence in Perth, a plot ledby Sir Robert Graham caused the murder of the King. Queen Joan, who had beenbadly wounded while trying to protect her husband, took a terrible revenge. SirRobert Graham and his fellow conspirators were soon captured and put to deathwith indescribable barbarity, unusual even for that cruel age. In 1439, probably against her will, she married Sir James Stewart, known at "the Black Knightof Lorne", and they produced three more sons.
Overlooking Dunbar Harbour are the fragmentary remains of what was once one of the mightiest castles in Scotland. The ruins are in a dangerous and precarious state and access has not beenallowed since part of them collapsed into the sea in 1993. This is a castle best viewed from a distance. Defences were built on this rocky outcrop by the Votanidi tribe during the Romans' excursions into Scotland (see our Historical Timeline >) and it was a Northumbrian stronghold in 650AD. It was later a Pictishfortress until captured by the Scots under Kenneth MacAlpin in 849AD. The first stone castle was probably constructed by the Earl of Dunbar in the 1070s. Dunbar Castle was unsuccessfully attacked by the English in 1214, but Edward I had better luck in 1296. And Edward II sheltered at Dunbar Castle after the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. But perhaps Dunbar's most famous moment came in 1338when "Black Agnes", the Countess of Moray, commanded the defence of the castleduring a five month siege by the English. The castle was rebuilt in the early1400s, repelling another English siege in 1435 before being badly damaged by them in 1448. In 1488 it was slighted by the Scots to prevent its use by the English. Rebuilding in 1515 was followed by another English attack in 1548, and byfurther fortification by the French in 1550. On 24 April 1567 Mary Queen of Scots was brought to Dunbar Castle by the Earl of Bothwell after his abduction of her, and the two later returned to the castle after their marriage on 15 May.After the Queen's subsequent surrender and abdication, the Scottish Parliamentordered the destruction of a castle so strong its possession destabilised thebalance of power in Scotland. The final indignity for Dunbar Castle came withthe construction of the Victoria Harbour in 1844. A new entrance for Dunbar's harbours was blasted through the end of the rock on which the castle ruins stood: indeed, the process of firing explosives by electricity was invented especially for the job. Less well known and less spectacular than Dunbar Castle, but much better preserved, is the later battery which lies at the north east cornerof the Victoria Harbour. This overlooked and protected the original entrance toDunbar Harbour and now provides a good viewpoint for the town, harbours and castle.

[Wikipedia, "Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland", retrieved 23 Dec 07]
Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland (c. 1379-13 November 1440), was the fourth child (and only daughter) of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and his mistress Katherine Swynford. She was born at the Chateau de Beaufort in Anjou, France (from where the Beaufort children derive their surname). In 1391, at the age of twelve, Joan married Robert Ferrers, 3rd Baron Ferrers of Wemme, and they had two daughters before he died about 1395. Along with her three brothers, Joan had been privately declared legitimate by their cousin Richard II of England in 1390, but for various reasons their father secured another such declaration from Parliament in January 1397. Joan was already an adult when she was legitimized by the marriage of her mother and father with papal approval. The Beauforts were later barred from inheriting the throne by a clause inserted into the legitimation act by their half-brother, Henry IV of England. Soon after this declaration, on 3 February 1397, when she was eighteen, Joan married Ralph de Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, who had also been married once before.
When Ralph de Neville died in 1425, his lands and titles should, by law of rights, have passed on to his eldest surviving son from his first marriage, another Ralph de Neville. Instead, while the title of Earl of Westmorland and several manors were passed to Ralph, the bulk of his rich estate went to his wife, Joan Beaufort. Although this may have been done to ensure that his widow was well provided for; by doing this, Ralph essentially split his family into two, and the result was years of bitter conflict between Joan and her step-children, who fiercely contested her acquisition of their father's lands. Joan however, with her royal blood and connections, was far too powerful to be called to account, and the senior branch of the Nevilles received little redress for their grievances. Inevitably, when Joan died, the lands would be inherited by her own children.
Joan died on 13 November 1440 at Howden in Yorkshire. Rather than be buried with her husband Ralph (who was buried with his first wife) she was entombed next to her mother in the magnificent sanctuary of Lincoln Cathedral. Joan's is the smaller of the two tombs; both were decorated with brass plates ? full-length representations of them on the tops, and small shields bearing coats of arms around the sides ? but those were damaged or destroyed in 1644 during the English Civil War. A 1640 drawing of them survives, showing what the tombs looked like when they were intact, and side-by-side instead of end-to-end, as they are now.
Joan Beaufort was the grandmother of Edward IV of England and Richard III of England, whom Henry VII defeated to take the throne. (Henry then married Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV, and their son became Henry VIII of England).
Children of Joan Beaufort and Ralph Neville:
They had fourteen children:
- Lady Katherine Neville, married first on January 12, 1411 John Mowbray, 2nd Duke of Norfolk; married second Sir Thomas Strangways; married third John Beaumont, 1st Viscount Beaumont; married fourth Sir John Woodville (d. August 12, 1469).
- Lady Eleanor Neville (d. 1472), married first Richard le Despencer, 4th Baron Burghersh, married second Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland
- Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury (1400?1460)

- William Neville, 1st Earl of Kent (d. 1463)
