In 1455, he married «b»Margaret Beaufort«/b», a daughter of the legitimised «b»John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset«/b». She was twelve years old at the time, and became pregnant in the following year. However, with the beginnings of the Wars of the Roses, «b»Richmond«/b» was captured by the Yorkist Herbert family. They imprisoned him at Carmarthen Castle in south Wales, where he caught the plague and died. «u»«b»Henry <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutHenryVII.htm>«/u»«/b», his only child, was born more than two months after his death.
