Joan Beaufort (362 words)
Along with her three brothers, Joan was privately declared legitimate by their cousin Richard II of England in 1390, but for some reason their father secured another such declaration from Parliament in January 1397.
Joan died on 13 November 1440 and was entombed next to her mother in the sanctuary of Lincoln Cathedral.
Joan's is the smaller of the two tombs; both were decorated with brass plates -- full-length representations of them on the tops, and small shields bearing coats of arms around the sides -- but those were damaged or destroyed in 1644 during the English Civil War.
James II (500 words)
James II, King of Scotland, the only surviving son of James I and his wife Jane, daughter of John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset, was born on the 16th of October 1430.
When about 1439 Queen Jane was married to Sir James Stewart, the knight of Lorne, Livingstone obtained the custody of the young king, whose minority was marked by fierce hostility between the Douglases and the Crichtons, with Livinstone first on one side and then on the other.
His reign is a period of some importance in the legislative history of Scotland, as measures were passed with regard to the tenure of land, the reformation of the coinage, and the protection of the poor, while the organization for the administration of justice was greatly improved.
