His uncles had been executed in the Glyndwr Welsh War of Independence. Owen fought for Henry V in France and entered the service of Henry's queen, Catherine of Valois. Soon after the king's death he secretly married her, the mother of the eight-month-old Henry VI. Owen and Catherine would have two boys together. Henry VI would go on to ennoble them as Edmund Earl of Richmond, and Jasper Earl of Pembroke, but upon Catherine's death Owen was imprisoned. Escaping twice, Owen was thrown into the beginnings of the Wars of the Roses with his two sons. It would be Edmund's son, Henry Tudor, who would take the English throne as Henry VII. When Jasper led the Lancastrian forces at Mortimer's Cross in 1461, the ageing Owen led a wing of the defeated army, was captured and executed. Without his earlier secret marriage for love, there would have been no Tudor dynasty."--Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Tudor, Owen, $d approximately 1400-1461. 600 00 $a Catherine, $c of Valois, Queen, consort of Henry V, King of England, $d 1401-1437 $x Marriage. 600 30 $a Tudor, House of. 600 10 $a Tudor, Owen, $d approximately 1400-1461 $x Family. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Wars of the Roses, 1455-1485. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Lancaster and York, 1399-1485. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Kings and rulers. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FE735AACF5D411E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
