Famous Women
Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Rich
mOud

Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Rich
mond.
Margaret Beaufort was the daugh-
ter and heiress of the Duke of Somer-
set. Being very beautiful she was at
the early age of fifteen eagerly sought
in marriage by two persons Of high
rank. One was the son of the Duke
of Suffolk, the other was Edmund.
Earl of Richmond, half brother of the
reigning monarch, Henry VI. Waver-
Ing between the two proposals Mar
garet was advised to consult st. Mich
olas, patron saint of undecided maid
ems. Evidently st. Nicholas decided
upon Edmund, for she married soon
afterward. Edmund died soon after
the birth of son, who after became
King Henry VII. Margaret married
twice after the death of her first hus-
band. First she married Humphrey
Stafford. son of the Duke Of Buck
ingham and then Thomas Lord STAN
ley subsequently Earl of Derby. We
are not told whether she consulted ST.
Nicholas In the choice of her second
and third husbands. Margaret found
ed several colleges and did other
works of charity. She died on Juno
20. 1909. at the age of xty-eight, just
after her grandson. Henry VIII as
cended the throne.
