The original legitimacy declaration specifically excluded the Beauforts from claims to the throne.Lady Margaret was the only surviving child of John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset who himself was the grandson of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster by his then mistress , Katherine Swynford.
John of Gaunt and Katherine later married in 1396 and their children were declared legitimate.
