[quote=""boswellbaxter""]There has been speculation that the widowed Catherine wanted to marry Edmund Beaufort, later Duke of Somerset (the one who was later killed at the first battle of St. Albans) before she married Owen. There's even been a suggestion that Catherine's son Edmund Tudor was Beaufort's son, not Owen Tudor's, and that Catherine married Owen in order to protect Edmund Beaufort. Does Bennett deal with the Beaufort relationship at all?[/quote]
Just finished. I vaguely recall Edmund Beaufort but he seemed to be a minor character and then dropped off the face of the earth. Or else I was skimming again. I had a few more WTF moments at the end, but not sure how to ask about them without being a spoiler.
