English School, Portrait of Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond (1441-1509) oil on panel, 56 x 44cm (21.84 x 17.16in). Provenance: The Hon Hugh Lawson Johnson, Melchbourne Park, Bedfordshire, thence by descent. Margaret Beaufort was mother of Henry VII, the Founder of St John`s College and Christ`s College, Cambridge. She was born at Bletsoe Castle, Bedfordshire. Sir John St John was her half-brother. The original panel was, in 1904, in the possession of the 16th Baron St John at Melchbourne - copied from the original painting by Wilfred B Egan in December, 1904. Lady Margaret`s royal status was derived illegitimately from her paternal great grandfather, John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster – the fourth son of Edward III. Her father, John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, was a disgraced military commander who died shortly before she was one year old. Subsequently, Lady Margaret was placed as a ward under the Marquess of Suffolk, who betrothed young Margaret to her son at the age of six. In 1453, the Lancastrian Henry VI dissolved the marriage and decided that she should instead marry Edmund Tudor, the son of Catherine of Valois, the Queen of Henry V, reinforcing the Lady`s royal status. Margaret Beaufort was the progenitor of the Tudor line. By the time Lady Margaret gave birth to Henry Tudor (at the age of 13) she was already a widow. After the murder of Henry VI in 1471 and the accession of the Yorkist Edward VI, she fled to France with her son, the next male in the Lancastrian family line. For further safety, Lady Margaret married Thomas, 2nd Baron Stanley, in 1472, a powerful figure and a Yorkist supporter at that time. Margaret accepted the Yorkist supremacy for the remainder of Edward`s reign, however after the accession of Richard III and the murder of the Princes in the Tower, she began to plot their overthrow and push for her son`s succession. Her involvement and the failure of the Duke of Buckingham`s rebellion in 1484 saw her estate handed over to the control of her husband, who also agreed to be her gaoler. Despite this, Lady Margaret continued to push for Richard`s overthrow and was instrumental in negotiating the marriage between her son and Elizabeth of York, an important match as it signified the union of the two houses of York and Lancaster, further increasing Henry`s claim to the throne. Lady Margaret`s role changed after Henry`s victory over Richard at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. She began to sign her letters `Margaret R` and was granted large households in London and Northamptonshire, where she was effectively Henry`s Deputy in the East Midlands. She was also an established author and translator, publishing many religious tracts and patronising a number of centres of learning, such as St. John`s College, Cambridge. Sir John St John (1473-1512) was Chamberlain to Margaret, Countess of Richmond, and Executor of her Estate. Towards the end of her life, she became increasingly religious and devoted herself to a life of prayer. The present painting is a copy of the prototype in the National Portrait Gallery which dates from the 16th Century, and of which there are many copies and derivations
