Margaret Holland (
1385 -
30 Dec 1429) was the daughter of
Thomas Holland[?], 2nd Earl of
Kent, who was the son of Joan "the Fair Maid of Kent," (wife of
Edward the Black Prince and mother of
Richard II of England) and grandson of
Edward I of England. Margaret married
John Beaufort, the son of
John of Gaunt. They had six children, among them
Joan Beaufort, wife of
James I of Scotland, and
John Beaufort, who became the grandfather of King
Henry VII of England. After Beaufort died in
1410 (in the
Tower of London), she married
Thomas Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence[?], the son of King
Henry IV. They had no children. Margaret and both her husbands are buried together in a carved alabaster tomb in
Canterbury Cathedral that shows her lying between the two of them.
