In 1375 Cardinal Henry Beaufort was born illegitimately to John of Gaunt 1st Duke Lancaster (age 34) and Katherine Swynford aka Roet Duchess Lancaster (age 24). He a grandson of King Edward III of England.
Froissart Book 4 Chapter 73. [13th January 1396]. At this period, the [his father] duke of Lancaster (age 55) married his third wife [[his mother] Katherine Swynford aka Roet Duchess Lancaster (age 45)], the daughter of a Hainault knight, called sir [his grandfather] Paon de Ruet: he had formerly been one of the knights to the good and noble queen [his grandmother] Philippa of England, who much loved the Hainaulters, as she was herself of that country.
This lady whom the duke of Lancaster married was called Catherine, and in her youth had been of the household of the duchess Blanche of Lancaster. Before the lady Blanche's death, and even when the duke was married to his second wife Constance, the daughter of don Pedro, he cohabited with the lady Catherine de Ruet, who was then married to an English knight [Hugh Swynford] now dead.
The duke of Lancaster had three children1 by her, previous to his marriage, two sons and a daughter: the eldest son was named [his illegitimate brother] John (age 23) lord Beaufort of Lancaster; the other Thomas [Henry] (age 21), whom the duke kept at the schools in Oxford, and made a great churchman and civihan. He was afterward bishop of Lincoln, which is the richest bishopric in the kingdom: from affection to these children, the duke married their mother, to the great astonishment of France and England, for Catherine Swynford was of base extraction in comparison to his two former duchesses Blanche and Constance. When this marriage was announced to the ladies of high rank in England, such as the duchess of Gloucester (age 30), the countess of Derby2, the countess of Arundel (age 20), and others connected with the royal family, they were greatly shocked, and thought the duke much to blame. They said, "he had sadly disgraced himself by thus marrying his concubine;" and added, that, "since it was so, she would be the second lady in the kingdom, and the queen (age 6) would be dishonourably accompanied by her; but that, for their parts, they would leave her to do the honours alone, for they would never enter any place where she was. They themselves would be disgraced if they suffered such a base-born duchess, who had been the duke's concubine a long time before and during his marriages, to take precedence, and their hearts would burst with grief were it to happen." Those who were the most outrageous on the subject were the [his uncle] duke (age 41) and duchess of Gloucester. They considered the duke of Lancaster as a doating fool for thus marrying his concubine, and declared they would never honour his lady by calling her sister. The [his uncle] duke of York (age 54) made light of the matter, for he lived chiefly with the king and his brother of Lancaster. The duke of Gloucester was of a different way of thinking: although the youngest of the three brothers, he yielded to no man's opinion, was naturally very proud and overbearing, and in opposition to the king's ministers, unless he could turn them as he willed. Catherine Ruet, however, remained duchess of Lancaster, and the second lady in England, as long as she lived. She was a lady accustomed to honours, for she had been brought up at court during her youth, and the duke fondly loved the children he had by her, as he showed during his life and at his death.
Note 1. Froissart mistakes in the number, and Thomas for Henry. According to Sandford, he had four children by Catherine Swynford: — John Beaufort, earl of Somerset, — Henry Beaufort, bishop of Winchester and cardinal of Beaufort, — [his illegitimate brother] Thomas Beaufort (age 19), duke of Exeter and earl of Dorset, — [his illegitimate sister] Joan Beaufort (age 17), countess of Westmoreland. For farther particulars, see Sandford and Dugdale.
Note 2. This reference to the Countess of Derby is confusing. In 1396 the Earl of Derby was [his half-brother] Henry (age 28), future King Henry IV, who inherited the title from fhis mother Blanche when she died in 1368. Henry's first wife Mary Bohun had died in 1394, and he marired his second wife Joanna of Navarre Queen Consort England (age 26) in 1403?

Parliament Rolls Richard II. 4th February 1397. 28. Be it remembered that on Tuesday, the fifteenth day of the parliament [4 February 1397], the chancellor (age 53), by order of the king (age 30), declared that our holy father the pope, in reverence of the most excellent person of the king and his honourable uncle the [his father] duke of Guyenne and of Lancaster (age 56), and of his blood, has enabled and legitimized my lord [his illegitimate brother] John Beaufort (age 24), his brothers [Note. Cardinal Henry Beaufort (age 22) and [his illegitimate brother] Thomas Beaufort 1st Duke Exeter (age 20)], and his [his illegitimate sister] sister (age 18). And therefore our lord the king, as sole ruler of his kingdom of England, for the honour of his blood, willed and enabled of his abundant royal power, and legitimized, of his own authority, the said John, his said brothers, and sister. And he also pronounced and published the ability and legitimation, according to the form of the charter of the king made thereon.
29. Which charter was read in full parliament, and delivered to the said duke, father of the said John, and his said brothers and sister; the tenor of which charter follows:
Richard, by the grace of God, king of England and France and lord of Ireland, to our most beloved kinsmen the noble John, knight, Henry, cleric, Thomas, donzel, and our beloved noblewoman Joan Beaufort, lady-in-waiting, our most beloved cousins born of our uncle that noble man John duke of Lancaster, our lieges, greeting and the goodwill of our royal majesty. While inwardly considering how endlessly and with how many honours of parental and sincere affection of our aforementioned uncle and of his mature counsel we are on all sides blessed, we have judged it appropriate and worthy that in consideration of his merits, and in contemplation of the grace of persons, we should endow you, who are resplendent with probity and virtuous life and conduct, and are born of royal stock and divinely marked with many virtues and gifts, with the protection of grace and favour by special prerogative. Thus it is that, yielding to the prayers of our said uncle, your father, we grant to you who, so it is claimed, have suffered such defect of birth, that, notwithstanding this defect, which, together with its various consequences, we wish to be fully included in these presents, you may nevertheless receive all honours, dignities, preferments, estates, degrees, and public and private offices, both perpetual and temporal, and feudal and noble rights, by whatsoever name they are called, such as duchies, lordships, earldoms, baronies, or whatsoever other fiefs they be, whether they be dependent upon or held of us mediately or intermediately, which may be preferred, promoted, elected, taken up and allowed, and received, retained, performed and exercised prudently, freely and lawfully, as if you were born in wedlock, notwithstanding any statutes or customs of our kingdom of England decreed or observed to the contrary; and we dispense you [from this defect] by the tenor of these presents, by the plenitude of our royal power and with the assent of our parliament; and we restore you and each of you to legitimacy.

On 27th February 1398 Cardinal Henry Beaufort (age 23) was appointed Bishop of Lincoln.
On 3rd February 1399 [his father] John of Gaunt 1st Duke Lancaster (age 58) died at Leicester Castle [Map]. [his mother] Katherine Swynford aka Roet Duchess Lancaster (age 48) was by his side. His son [his half-brother] Henry (age 31) succeeded 2nd Duke Lancaster, 7th Earl of Leicester. He was buried in the Choir of St Paul's Cathedral [Map] with his first wife Blanche Duchess of Lancaster.
King Richard II of England (age 32) witheld the future Henry IV's inheritance from him giving Henry reason to return to England to claim his lands and titles.
In 1402 [his illegitimate daughter] Joan aka Jane Beaufort was born illegitimately to Cardinal Henry Beaufort (age 27) and Alice Fitzalan Baroness Cherleton. She a great granddaughter of King Edward III of England.
In 1403 Cardinal Henry Beaufort (age 28) was appointed Lord Chancellor.
On 10th May 1403 [his mother] Katherine Swynford aka Roet Duchess Lancaster (age 52) died. She was buried in Lincoln Cathedral [Map]. The monument is thought to be the work of Henry Yevele.
“Katherine's fine tomb chest of Purbeck marble, with its moulded plinth and lid, had armorial shields encircled by garters along each side; it was surmounted by a canopied brass depicting Katherine in her widow's weeds, and bearing her arms impaled with those of John of Gaunt, while above it was raised a vaulted canopy with trefoiled arches, cusped lozenges and miniature rose bosses. The canopy and associated stonework would have been painted in bright colours.”
When John Leland visited the Cathedral in about 1540, he recorded that: "In the southe parte of the presbytery lyithe in 2. severalle highe marble tumbes in a chapell Catarine Swineforde, the 3. wife to John of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster, and Jane her dougtar Countes of Westmerland".
In 1654 John Evelyn's Diary: "The soldiers had lately knocked off most of the brasses from the gravestones".
At some point after this the position of the two monuments was changed and they now stand end to end.
On 19th November 1404 Cardinal Henry Beaufort (age 29) was appointed Bishop of Winchester.

All About History Books
The Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough, a canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed."

In 1426 Cardinal Henry Beaufort (age 51) was appointed Cardinal.
On 6th November 1429 King Henry VI of England and II of France (age 7) was crowned VI King of England by Cardinal Henry Beaufort (age 54) at Westminster Abbey [Map]. Richard Beauchamp 13th Earl Warwick (age 47) carried the child King. John Mowbray 3rd Duke of Norfolk (age 14) attended. John Beaumont 1st Viscount Beaumont (age 20) was knighted.
On 30th May 1431 Joan of Arc (age 19) was burned at the stake witnessed by Cardinal Henry Beaufort (age 56) at the Old Market Place, Rouen [Map].
On 16th December 1431 Henry VI (age 10) was crowned II King France: Lancaster at Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral [Map] by Cardinal Henry Beaufort (age 56). A somewhat futile exercise; the last gasps of the Hundred Years War. The ceremony had been arranged by John Lancaster 1st Duke Bedford (age 42). His wife Anne Valois Duchess of Bedford (age 27) attended.
Walter Hungerford 1st Baron Hungerford (age 53) was appointed Carver.
Thomas Harrington (age 31), Richard Archer (age 44), Hugh Courtenay 4th or 12th Earl Devon and his son Thomas (age 17) attended.
Excerpta Historica Page 152. [1433.] Nothing more has been discovered of Sir [his half-brother] Thomas Swynford (age 66), excepting that the [his illegitimate brother] Duke of Exeter, his half-brother, bequeathed him, by the appellation of "my brother," a silver-gilt cup, and that he died in the 11 Hen. VI. 1432-31, having alienated his lands in Lincolnshire, as the inquisition on his death finds that he held nothing in that county. He appears to have had issue two sons, Thomas (age 27) and William (age 25). Of William, all that is known is, that his half-uncle, Cardinal Beaufort (age 58), by a codicil to his will, dated in 1447, in which he called him "William Swynford my nephew," left him 400l. with a certain quantity of silver vessels.

Croyland Chronicle 1486. [11th April 1447]. There recurs to my recollection, at the moment while I am writing this account of these circumstances, a praiseworthy deed, and one most deserving of all imitation by others, of that glorious and Catholic man, the said cardinal bishop of Winchester (age 72). When he was ill and at the point of death at his palace of Wolnesey, near his cathedral church of Saint Swithun, in the said year 1447, he caused all the ecclesiastics, religious, and laymen in the vicinity to be summoned to the great hall of the palace, on the Saturday on which the office Sitientes [those who thirst] is chaunted, and which immediately precedes the Sunday of the Passion of our Lord. Here he had a solemn funeral service and the mass of the Requiem performed in his presence, as he lay on his bed; and, on the fifth day after,40 the whole of the office was performed by the prior of that cathedral church in full pontificals. Shortly after the funeral service, his last will and testament was publicly read aloud in presence of all; and, certain corrections and codicils41 having been added by him thereto, on the morning after the mass was performed, publicly and in an audible voice he confirmed all his said testamentary dispositions, which were then once more read over; after which, he bade farewell to all, and departed this life at the time above-mentioned. For, he who wrote this account, was present, and both saw and heard all these things, and we know that his witness is true. Having thus digressed a little, we will hasten to return to the acts and fortunes of the king.
Note 40. This account of the death of Cardinal Beaufort differs very materially from the picture painted of that scene by Shakspeare in his King Henry VI., Part 2; and which is supposed, in some respects, to have been founded on the account given in Hall's Chronicle.
Note 41. These were added on the seventh and ninth of April. He died on the eleventh.
