The Controversial Matriarch of the Tudor Dynasty | Margaret Beaufort | Part 3

The Tudors were a royal family that dominated the late medieval era, but how did they go from minor Welsh nobility to monarchs of England? It all started with the mother of Henry VII, Margaret Beaufort. A teen mother and widow by the age of thirteen, Margaret would elevate herself beyond the low expectations of her sex, and ensure her son's place on the throne of England. This video looks at Margaret's place during Richard III's reign, discusses her possible part in the disappearance of the Princes in the Tower, her decisive actions that helped her son get back home, and her part in helping Henry VII win the crown of England...
