Margaret Beaufort was the mother of the Tudor Dynasty - her dedication, intelligence and most importantly her bloodline helped her son win the throne as Henry 7th. In this episode we look at her early life; her first marriage at the age of only 12 and the traumatic birth of her son when she was only 13 years old.
