Note | Jasper is the uncle of King Henry VII of England and the architect of his successful conquest of England and Wales in 1485. He was from the noble Tudor family of Penmynydd in North Wales He played a major role on behalf of the Lancastrians in the Wars of the Roses, and was with his nephew Henry Tudor who was in exile in Brittany He married during Henry VII's reign (1485-1509), but had no legitimate heir He may have fathered an illegitimate daughter named Ellen "Webster's Biographical Dictionary" (Springfield, Massachusetts: G. & C. Merriam Company, 1980), p. 1491. Jasper Tudor of Hatfield. (1431?-1495), Earl of Pembroke and Duke of Bedford, second son of Owen Tudor; fought for Henry VI at first battle of St. Albans (1455); defeated by Edward IV at Mortimer's Cross (1461) and retired to Scotland (1462); made attack on Wales (1468) only to be driven off by William Herbert; returned with Warwick (1470) but after battle of Tewkesbury fled with nephew Henry (later Henry VII) to Paris, till their return to victory at Bosworth over Richard III (1485); created duke of Bedford (1485), earl marshall (1492). ================================== More about Sir Jasper Tudor: 1449, he was Knighted 1452, Earl of Pembrook 1470, Earl of Warwick 1485, Duke of Bedford 1486, Lord of Glamorgan Between 1486-1494, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland JASPER TUDOR, EARL OF PEMBROKE AND DUKE OF BEDFORD, Son of Owen Tudor and Katherine of Valois (widow of Henry V) and half brother of Henry VI. Brother of Edmund Tudor (father of the future Henry VII). Jasper played a major role on behalf of the Lancastrians in the Wars of the Roses and was with Henry Tudor in exile in Brittany. He married during Henry VII's reign, but had no legitimate heir. He may have fathered an illegitimate daughter by a Welsh woman. The daughter in turn was the mother of Stephen Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester Additional information In 1452, Edmund and Jasper were formally brought into the royal family and were made Earls: Edmund the Earl of Richmond and Jasper the Earl of Pembroke. Their brother Owen was already a monk at Westminster Abbey It is not really possible that the two Tudor brothers were being looked to as heirs of Henry VI (who had been married to Margaret of Anjou for 7 years but still had no children). They had been formally recognized at the half brothers of the King whose uncles-other possible heirs-were all dead by this time. But, the Tudor's had no blood connection to the English throne at this time (although they did to the throne of France through their mother) The new earls were given precedent over all the other nobles of the realm save the dukes and the King and Queen. Along with the titles came estates and revenues, as well as the potential of noble brides In March 1453, Edmund and Jasper were given joint custody of Margaret Beaufort, heiress of the Duke of Somerset Margaret's grandfather was John Beaufort (d. 1410), who was the eldest son of John of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster and his mistress Katherine Swynford. John later married Katherine and their children from before the marriage were made legitimate by Parliament in 1397. However, Henry IV added the caveat that the Beaufort's could never inherit the throne Margaret Beaufort was born May 31, 1443. Her father died in 1444, leaving his young daughter a very desirable bride. A few years later, Margaret was married to John de la Pole, the heir of the Marquess of Suffolk. The Marquess himself was murdered in 1450 and in early 1453, the marriage of John and Margaret was annulled The annulment may have come at the request of the King, who also may have been the one to match Margaret and Edmund Tudor. The couple were married in 1455. Their only child was a son born in 1457, and was named Henry Edmund Tudor died in November 1456 and his brother Jasper took Margaret and young Henry into his protection. Jasper himself was still not married and wouldn't find a bride for almost 30 years Jasper Tudor Source: Wikipedia, http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper_Tudor Jasper Tudor (ca 1431-December 1495) was the uncle of King Henry VII of England and the architect of his successful conquest of England and Wales in 1485. Jasper was the third son of Owen Tudor and the former queen Katherine of Valois, widow of King Henry V. Hence he was a half-brother to King Henry VI, who, on attaining his majority, created Jasper Earl of Pembroke (some time in 1452 or 1453). Although there was uncertainty as to whether Jasper and his two (or three) brothers were legitimate, their parents' probably secret marriage not being recognized by the authorities, he enjoyed all the privileges appropriate to his birth until 1461, when he was subject to an attainder for supporting King Henry VI against the Yorkists who eventually deposed him Jasper was an adventurer whose military expertise, some of it gained in the early stages of the Wars of the Roses, was considerable. He remained in touch with Margaret of Anjou, queen of Henry VI, as she struggled to regain her son's inheritance, and he held Denbigh Castle for the Lancastrians. He also brought up his nephew, Henry Tudor, whose father had died before his birth, until 1461 when custody was taken over by William Herbert. Following the return of the Yorkist king Edward IV from temporary exile in 1471, Jasper took the teenage Henry with him into exile, this time in Brittany. It was thanks to him that Henry acquired the tactical awareness that made it possible to defeat the far more experienced Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field. On Henry's accession in 1485, Jasper was restored to all his former titles, including Knight of the Garter. He was created Duke of Bedford and married the former Katherine Woodville, sister of Queen Elizabeth Woodville and widow of the Duke of Buckingham. In 1488, he took possession of Cardiff Castle. He died in December, 1495, and was buried at Keynsham Abbey in Somerset. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE WARS OF THE ROSES The reign of Henry V. was a reign of brilliant victories in France, and the reign of Henry VI. one of disastrous defeats. During both reigns the lords were becoming more powerful in Wales as well as in England. The hold of the king over them became weaker every year; they packed the Parliament, they appointed the Council, they overawed the law courts. If a man wanted security, he must wear the badge of some lord, and fight for him when called upon to do so. In the marches of Wales there were more than a hundred lords holding castle and court; and it was easy for a robber or a murderer to escape from one lordship to the other, or even to find a welcome and protection. In Wales and in the marches the lords preyed upon their weaker neighbors, and the country became full of private war The selfish families, all fighting for more land and more power, gradually formed themselves into two parties-the parties of the Red Rose and of the White Rose. The leading family in the Red Rose party was that of Lancaster, represented by the saintly King Henry VI.; the leading family in the White Rose party was that of York. In the Wars of the Roses, York and Lancaster fought over the crown, and those who supported them over a castle or an estate Wales was divided. The west was for Lancaster, from Pembroke to Harlech, and from Harlech to Anglesey. The east was for York, from Cardiff and Raglan to Wigmore, and from Wigmore to Chirk. Lancaster held estates in Wales and on the border-the castles of Hereford, Skenfrith, Ogmore, and Kidwelly being centers of strength and wealth. York's chief country was the march of Wales, with Ludlow as its center. The Welsh barons took sides according to their interests. Jasper Tudor, Earl of Pembroke, held the west for his half-brother, the king. Sir William Herbert, who was very powerful in the country south of the Mortimer's, took the side of his powerful neighbor. Others wavered, especially Grey of Ruthin and the Stanleys in North Wales One battle was fought between the Welsh Yorkists and the Welsh Lancastrians. This was the battle of Mortimer's Cross, near Wigmore, in February 1461. The victor was the young Duke of York, who was crowned king as Edward IV. later in the year. An old man, Owen Tudor, the father of Jasper Tudor, and the grandfather of the boy who was "to rule after them all" as Henry VII., was taken prisoner. They took him to Hereford, and there they cut his head off and set it on the market cross. The battles of the Wars of the Roses were very cruel ones; the noble prisoners that had been taken, even children of tender age, were murdered in cold blood on the evening of the battle. "By God's blood," said one, as he killed a child, "thy father slew mine, and so will I do thee." The Welsh barons led their men to nearly all the important battles. North Wales archers, wearing the three feathers of the Prince of Wales, fought for Lancaster in the snow at the great defeat of Towton on the Palm Sunday of 1461; the archers of Gwent, led by Herbert, fought vainly for York at the battle of Edgecote, in the summer of 1469. And the Welsh waverer and traitor was seen in battle also-Grey of Ruthin led the van for Lancaster at the battle of Northampton in 1460, and caused the battle to be lost by deserting to York at the beginning of the fighting. In Wales itself, also, the war was fought bitterly; and the stubborn defence of Harlech for the Lancastrians became famous through the whole country. The last battle fought between Lancaster and York was the battle of Tewkesbury, in May 1471, and Lancaster lost it; the Prince of Wales, the king's only son, was killed; and his heroic mother, Margaret of Anjou, gave the struggle up. A young Welsh noble-Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond-became the Lancastrian heir. The fortunes of his house were hopeless, however; and his uncle, Jasper, sent him in safety to Brittany The Yorkist kings, Edward IV. and Richard III., in spite of cruelty and murder, ruled well. They broke the power of the barons, and they made the people rich-by maintaining peace, by repressing piracy, by protecting the woollen industry of the towns In Wales their rule was for peace and order. They made a Court for Wales at Ludlow, the home of their race. From Ludlow they began to force the barons to do justice and to obey the king. It seemed as if the rule of the Yorkists was to be a long one, for they were very popular in London and the towns But the nobles were not willing to see their power taken from them day by day. Jasper Tudor appealed to the loyalty of the Welsh, and the men of West Wales wanted a king of their own blood; for the laws had been made unjust to them ever since the time of Owen Glendower Many attempts were made, and they failed. But at last, on August 7, 1485, the fugitive Earl of Richmond came to Milford Haven. He marched on to the valley of the Teivy, and he was joined by Sir Rees ap Thomas, and an army of South Wales men; he journeyed on through the valley of the Severn, and the North Wales men joined him; English nobles joined him as he marched by Shrewsbury, Stafford, Lichfield, and Tamworth. Richard's army was also on the march. At Bosworth, August 22, 1485, the two armies met in the last […]. | |

Name | Kenneth, II, was also known as Rí na h'Alba Cináed II mac Maíl Coluim. | |
Note | Cináed mac Maíl Coluim (Modern Gaelic: "Coinneach mac Mhaoil Chaluim" / anglicized as Kenneth II and nicknamed "An Fionnghalach, The Fratricide" before 954-995) was King of Scotland (Alba) The son of Malcolm I (Máel Coluim mac Domnaill), he succeeded King Cuilén (Cuilén mac Iduilb) on the latter's death at the hands of Amdarch of Strathclyde in 971 The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba was compiled in Kenneth's reign, but many of the place names mentioned are entirely corrupt, if not fictitious. Whatever the reality, the Chronicle states that "[h]e immediately plundered [Strathclyde] in part. Kenneth's infantry were slain with very great slaughter in Moin Uacoruar." The Chronicle further states that Kenneth plundered Northumbria three times, first as far as Stainmore, then to Cluiam and lastly to the River Dee by Chester. These raids may belong to around 980, when the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records attacks on Cheshire In 973, the Chronicle of Melrose reports that Kenneth, with Máel Coluim I (Máel Coluim mac Domnaill), the King of Strathclyde, "Maccus, king of very many islands" (i.e. Magnus Haraldsson (Maccus mac Arailt), King of Mann and the Isles) and other kings, Welsh and Norse, came to Chester to acknowledge the overlordship of the English king Edgar the Peaceable. It may be that Edgar here regulated the frontier between the southern lands of the kingdom of Alba and the northern lands of his English kingdom. Cumbria was English, the western frontier lay on the Solway. In the east, the frontier lay somewhere in later Lothian, south of Edinburgh The Annals of Tigernach, in an aside, name three of the Mormaers of Alba in Kenneth's reign in entry in 976: Cellach mac Fíndgaine, Cellach mac Baireda and Donnchad mac Morgaínd. The third of these, if not an error for Domnall mac Morgaínd, is very likely a brother of Domnall, and thus the Mormaer of Moray. The Mormaerdoms or kingdoms ruled by the two Cellachs cannot be identified The feud which had persisted since the death of King Indulf (Idulb mac Causantín) between his descendants and Kenneth's family persisted. In 977 the Annals of Ulster report that "Amlaíb mac Iduilb [Amlaíb, son of Indulf], King of Scotland, was killed by Cináed mac Domnaill." The Annals of Tigernach give the correct name of Amlaíb's killer: Cináed mac Maíl Coluim, or Kenneth II. Thus, even if only for a short time, Kenneth had been overthrown by the brother of the previous king Adam of Bremen tells that Sweyn Forkbeard found exile in Scotland at this time, but whether this was with Kenneth, or one of the other kings in Scotland, is unknown. Also at this time, Njal's Saga, the Orkneyinga Saga and other sources recount wars between "the Scots" and the Northmen, but these are more probably wars between Sigurd Hlodvisson, Earl of Orkney, and the Mormaers, or Kings, of Moray The Chronicle says that Kenneth founded a great monastery at Brechin Kenneth was killed in 995, the Annals of Ulster say "by deceit" and the Annals of Tigernach say "by his subjects". Some later sources, such as the Chronicle of Melrose, John of Fordun and Andrew of Wyntoun provide more details, accurately or not. The simplest account is that he was killed by his own men in Fettercairn, through the treachery of Finnguala (also called Fimberhele), daughter of Cuncar, Mormaer of Angus, in revenge for the killing of her only son The Prophecy of Berchán adds little to our knowledge, except that it names Kenneth "the kinslayer", and states he died in Strathmore Kenneth's son Malcolm II (Máel Coluim mac Cináeda) was later king of Alba. Kenneth may have had a second son, named either Dúngal or Gille Coemgáin. Sources differ as to whether Boite mac Cináeda should be counted a son of Kenneth II or of Kenneth III (Cináed mac Duib) [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_II_of_Scotland ]. | |
