She was probably born at the Swynford manor of Kettlethorpe in Lincolnshire . Her surname probably reflects her father's lordship of Beaufort in Champagne, France , where she might also have been born.[ In 1391, at the age of twelve, Joan married at Beaufort-en-Vallée , Anjou , Robert Ferrers, 5th Baron Boteler of Wem , and they had two daughters before he died in about 1395. Along with her three brothers, Joan had been privately declared legitimate by their cousin Richard II of England in 1390. Her parents were married in Lincoln Cathedral in February 1396.Joan was already an adult when she was legitimized by the marriage of her mother and father with papal approval. The Beauforts were later barred from inheriting the throne by a clause inserted into the legitimation act by their half-brother, Henry IV of England , although it is not clear that Henry IV possessed sufficient authority to alter an existing parliamentary statute by himself, without the further approval of Parliament. Soon after the legitimation, on 3 February 1397, when she was eighteen, Joan married Ralph de Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland , who had also been married once before. When Ralph de Neville died in 1425, his lands and titles should, by law of rights, have passed on to his grandson through his first marriage, another Ralph Neville _2nd_Earl_of_Westmorland. Instead, while the title of Earl of Westmorland and several manors were passed to Ralph, the bulk of his rich estate went to his wife, Joan Beaufort. Although this may have been done to ensure that his widow was well provided for, by doing this Ralph essentially split his family into two and the result was years of bitter conflict between Joan and her stepchildren who fiercely contested her acquisition of their father's lands. Joan however, with her royal blood and connections, was far too powerful to be called to account, and the senior branch of the Nevilles received little redress for their grievances. Inevitably, when Joan died, the lands would be inherited by her own children Joan died on 13 November 1440 at Howden in Yorkshire Rather than be buried with her husband Ralph (who was not buried with his first wife, though his monument has effigies of himself and his two wives) she was entombed next to her mother in the magnificent 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 by Roundheads during the English Civil War . A 1640 drawing of them survives, showing what the tombs looked like when they were intact, and side-by-side instead of end-to-end, as they are now. Joan Beaufort was mother to Cecily, Duchess of York and thus grandmother of Edward IV of England , and of Richard III of England , whom Henry VII defeated to take the throne. Henry then married Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV, and their son became Henry VIII of England . Henry VIII's sixth wife, Catherine Parr , was also a descendant through Joan and Ralph's eldest son, Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury , and thus Henry's third cousin. The Earl of Salisbury was father to Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick , "the Kingmaker" (father of Queen consort Anne Neville Children of Joan Beaufort and Robert Ferrers_Countess_of_Westmorland&action In 1391, at the age of twelve, Joan married Robert Ferrers, 5th Baron Boteler of Wem , at Beaufort-en-Vallée, Anjou. They had 2 children: Elizabeth Ferrers, 6th Baroness Boteler of Wem title=Elizabeth_Ferrers,_6th_Baroness_Boteler_of_Wem&action (1393–1474). She is buried at Black Friars Church, York _. She married John de Greystoke, 4th Baron Greystoke _ (1389–1436), on 28 October 1407 in Greystoke Castle , Greystoke , Cumberland , and had issue. Margaret (or Mary) Ferrers (1394 – 25 January 1457/1458). She married her stepbrother, Sir Ralph Neville, son of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmoreland , c. 1413 in Oversley , Warwickshire , and had issue Children of Joan Beaufort and Ralph Neville_Countess_of_Westmorland&action They had 14 children: Lady Katherine Neville , married first on 12 January 1411 John Mowbray, 2nd Duke of Norfolk ; married second Sir Thomas Strangways; married third John Beaumont, 1st Viscount Beaumont 1st_Viscount_Beaumont,_6th_Baron_Beaumont; married fourth Sir John Woodville (d. 12 August 1469). Lady Eleanor Neville (d. 1472), married first Richard le Despenser, 4th Baron Burghersh , married second Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury (1400–1460), married Alice Montacute , suo jure 5th Countess of Salisbury. Had issue. Their descendants include Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick ; queen consort Anne Neville , wife of Richard III ; and queen consort Catherine Parr , sixth wife of King Henry VIII (great-grandson of Richard's sister, Cecily).
