BEAUFORT

On 2-12-1682 Henry Somerset, 3.Marquess of Worcester, (1629-1699) was created Duke of Beaufort. His ancester Charles Somerset, 1.Earl of Worcester since 1-2-1513, was the illegitimate son of Henry Beaufort, 2.Duke of Somerset (1436-1464). His grandfather John Beaufort (ca. 1371-1410), was an illegitimate son of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, son of Edward III King of England. Thus making the Dukes of Beaufort the male line descendants of the Plantagenet kings of England. They descend from Geoffroy Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, (1113-1151) and Matilda of Normandy, Queen of England. The first known ancestor in the male line is Geoffroi comte de Gâtinais, who was mentioned in 979 and 985/87.

SOMERSET

The Seymour family descends from William Saint Maur, mentioned in 1240. Sir Edward Seymour (1500-1552), brother of Jane Seymour, third wife of King Henry VIII of England, was made Viscount Beauchamp on 5-6-1536, Earl of Hertford on 18-10-1537 and Duke of Somerset on 15-2-1546, but was decapitated in 1552 and the family lost these titles. His son Edward regained the title Earl of Hertford in 1558. The grandson of this Edward, William (1587/88-1660) became Marquess of Hertford in 1640 and Duke of Somerset in 1660. His descendants died out in the male line in 1675. And the grandson of this brother became the fifth Duke of Somerset. His line died out in 1750, when a descendant of a younger son of the first Duke succeeded in the title.
