After John of Gaunt's death, however, the four Beauforts were barred from succession to the English throne by their half-brother King Henry IV. Nevertheless, John Beaufort's (the eldest of the four children) great-grandson Henry (VII) Tudor was able to win the throne in 1485 partly by virtue of his descent, through John Beaufort from the Lancastrian Plantagenets. ____________________________
