Biography

Joan (Beaufort) Queen Dowager of Scots is Notable.

Family

Joan was the eldest daughter of John Beaufort, 1st earl of Somerset and his wife Margaret de Holand (later duchess of Clarence),[1][2] and a granddaughter of John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster and fourth son of Edward III of England.[3][4] The date of her birth is unknown, although it is presumed to have been after her parents marriage in 1397, and it may have been significantly later.[5] She had four brothers and one younger sister.[5] Joan was brought up (probably in her mother's household) in the very highest social and political circles of the Lancastrian government.[6]

Marriage to James I, King of Scots

Joan married in February 1423/4 at St Mary Overy Church in Southwark, Surrey, James I, king of Scots.[1][7] James was required under the terms of the treaty by which he was to be released from his captivity in England to marry "an English woman of noble birth," but Joan also happened to be the love of his life. He wrote an epic poem, The Kingis Quair, before their marriage describing their courtship from the first glimpse he had of her from the window of his prison.[4] He wrote passionately of his hopes increasing "day by day" (st. 181); his "long pain and true service in love" (st. 188) which eventually led to his love being reciprocated; and of his "long and true continuance in love and true service" (st. 192) to this beautiful woman.[8] Throughout the rest of his lifetime, James remained devoted to two things: his queen, and saving his kingdom from anarchy.[9] His love for his wife remained constant always, he was one of a very few Scottish kings who had no mistresses and no illegitimate children.[10] The marriage appeared to be a very happy one.[11]

There were eight children from this marriage:

Queen of Scots

Almost immediately following the wedding festivities the couple began their journey north to Scotland, and on 21 May 1424 at Scone James was crowned King of Scots by the bishop of St Andrews, "in the presence of the bishops, prelates, and magnates of the kingdom," and Joan was crowned that same day as his queen.[2] Although she apparently did not receive a customary landed settlement at her coronation, she was granted some rights of patronage.[6] Her favorite residence seems to have been the palace at Linlithgow, as she gave a gratuity to the masons who built it, and granted the mastership of the nearby hospital of Mary Magdalene to her own chaplain.[11]

In the early years of her marriage, her involvement in the political affairs of the kingdom was limited by a series of pregnancies.[6] That began to change, however, in 1428, when the king required that all magnates (when they succeeded to their land) take an oath of loyalty to the queen as well as to himself.[6] Her signature appears on the document which ratified an alliance with France that same year.[6] From that point on, Queen Joan appears to have frequently traveled with her husband, received an annuity of £350, and was granted lands by the king which included a number of major lordships in Perthshire.[6] In 1435, James ordered that the estates give her their "letter of retinence and fidelity," signaling his intent that she be given the position of regent for their son, in the event of his own death.[6]

When her husband was brutally assassinated on 21 February 1437 (for further details see the profile of James I), Joan herself was wounded twice as she tried to protect him from the attackers.[35][36][37] Despite her wounds, in the following days the queen successfully mobilized the king's supporters and directed a relentless manhunt for the murderers.[38] They were all hunted down and executed within forty days.[11]

Queen Dowager/Queen Mother

Joan suddenly found herself a widow with seven young children still in her care (the oldest being only eleven years of age), one of them her six year old son who immediately succeeded his father as king of Scots. In the ensuing power struggle over control of the young king (and therefore over the government of Scotland), three factors weighed heavily against the Queen Mother: 1) she was a woman; 2) she was English; and 3) she was closely associated with her husband's policies, and he had acquired some powerful enemies.[6]

Initially, Joan was able to remain in charge of the children and, in consultation with the king's General Council, maintain stability in the government in the immediate aftermath of the king's murder.[39] Before long, however, a long standing conflict broke out between Alexander Livingston, governor of Stirling Castle, and William Crichton, governor of Edinburgh Castle, who each had ambitions to take over the government and therefore needed to have control over the young king.[40][41] The Queen Mother found herself increasingly in need of a protector, and she also needed to solidify her position in Perthshire where most of her own lands were. In the summer of 1439, she married Sir James Stewart, the Black Knight of Lorn, from a family with extensive lands and influence in Perthshire.[42] Livingston reacted to the marriage by seizing the Queen Mother and her new husband and imprisoning them at Stirling Castle for a month (throwing Joan's husband and his brother into the dungeon), until Joan was forced to sign a formal document giving sole custody of James to himself, giving up her own dowry to be used for her son's maintenance, and forfeiting Stirling Castle (which was to be her young son's residence).[11][6][43]

Marriage to James Stewart, Black Knight of Lorn

Joan, Queen Dowager of Scots, married in (most likely the summer of) 1439 Sir James Stewart, Black Knight of Lorn, a younger son of Isabel of Lorn and Sir John Stewart of Innermeath.[44] They were granted a papal dispensation on 21 September 1439 to remain married despite being in the third and fourth degrees of kindred,[44] which stipulated that any children born or to be born from the marriage were legitimate but that the survivor of the two of them would never be permitted to remarry.[45]

There were three children from this marriage:

Death

Despite Livingston's efforts, the Queen Dowager retained the loyalty of many of James I's supporters and continued to oppose Livingston's faction, never giving up her attempts to regain custody of her children.[51][6] In June 1445, with her supporters under attack she was forced to take refuge in Dunbar Castle, where she died the following month on 15 July 1445.[51][6][52] Joan, Queen Dowager of Scots, was buried beside King James I at the Charterhouse of the Carthusian Priory at Perth.[44]

Sir James Stewart, Black Knight of Lorn, escaped to England with their three young sons.[44][6]

That image is very commonly used as Joan Beaufort. Occasionally as Margaret Beaufort. I tried pretty hard to figure out where the original is but couldn't figure it out - surprisingly this is usually not very hard. I will say the painting looked "too modern" to be contemporary with Joan Beaufort.

Cochoit-2 Joe Cochoit
Okay got it... I was on a quest. The painting we had is actually a forgery of sorts currently titled "Unknown Woman Formerly Known as Lady Margaret Beaufort." It was purchased by the National Portrait Gallery, London in 1908 and was originally thought to be the only portrait of Henry VII’s mother painted from life. It is now known to be the work of an unknown 19th century artist who painted over a 16th century painting, and added a coat of arms in order to pass it off as Lady Margaret Beaufort. There are even more modern copies at Christ's College, Cambridge, and at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford.

updates:

Not sure why a merge had been propsed with Wilcockes-1, but it was rejected (and a comment on that profile notes that Joan Beaufort is not her mother). The other merges (comments below) have been completed. I explored the information on the two category pages for the frauds mentioned below and have no idea why this profile for Joan (Beaufort-20) should be added to them. (Fraud categories can be found [here].)
