General Notes

Sir Owen Tudor was born circa 1400 at Plas Pemmynydd, Wales <pd712.htm>.1 He was the son of Meredith ap Tudor <p10282.htm> and Margaret Fychan <p10755.htm>.1
He married Catherine de France <p10187.htm>, daughter of Charles VI, Roi de France <p10272.htm> and Isabelle von Bayern <p10272.htm>, between 1425 and 1428.
However, it is not proven that this marriage actually took place.1 He died on 2 February 1461 at Herefordshire, England <pd179.htm>, executed by the Yorkists.1

There is some doubt as to whether this marriage took place - see other notes under Owain Tudur. Squire of the body to Henry V and Henry VI, Clerk of the wardrobe of the Queen-Dowager Catherine de Valois.
On account of his connection with her he was imprisoned, but at length pardoned by Henry VI, and retired to Wales.
He is said to have married the Queen-Dowager, Catherine, widow of Henry V, and the daughter of Charles VI, king of France by Isabella, daughter of Stephen II Duke of Bavaria-Ingolstadt.
No reliable record of such a marriage has been found although Henry VII had an intensive search made. Owain Tudor and Catherine, the Queen-Dowager, had four children.
Owain Tudur was taken prisoner by the Yorkists at the Battle of Mortimers Cross, 2nd. February, 1461 and was beheaded at Hereford, probably the next day.
