Lady Margaret Beaufort (1443-1509) was the mother of Henry Tudor
(1457-1509) by her first husband, Edmund Tudor, who died before his
son was born. A strong and determined woman, after many
vicissitudes she was instrumental in the overthrow of Richard III
and the accession of her son to the throne after the Battle of
Bosworth (1485). The documents edited here are the principal
household accounts, extant in St John's College, Cambridge, for the
period 1498-1509, during which she ran her own household, variously
at Collyweston, Croydon and Hatfield, independent of her third
husband, Thomas Stanley, earl of Derby. The accounts record the
economy and management of the household at the height of Lady
Margaret's power, wealth, and influence and offer unique evidence
of both the household and Lady Margaret herself.
