She was the sister of William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk, a great favourite of Henry VI. Owen's children Edmund and Jasper, and possibly their unknown sister, were given to Catherine de la Pole who was a nun at Barking Abbey in Essex. The regents had made it illegal for anyone to marry the widowed queen without their permission, and since Owen was below her in rank, there had been no hope permission would be granted. It seems likely that while Catherine had been alive, the regency of Henry VI were reluctant to arrest Owen while the Queen could still protect him. After her death her husband Owen was arrested. By 1 January she had written a will and had given birth to a short lived daughter, possibly named Margaret. In 1436 when Jasper was about five years of age his mother Catherine of Valois once again was expecting another child, however she realised that she was dying from an illness, probably cancer, and sought the help of Bermondsey Abbey to be nursed by the sisters there. Jasper's mother's last child would be born in 1437 mere days before Catherine's own untimely death. There is mention of a daughter who became a nun by Vergil but nothing is known of her. Owen was taken from her and raised by the monks and according to his nephew Henry VII's personal historian Polydore Vergil the child was raised as a monk by the name Edward Bridgewater where he lived until his death in 1502. Owen was born at Westminster Abbey in 1432, when the Dowager Queen was visiting her son Henry VI, her water broke prematurely and she was forced to seek the help of the monks at Westminster Abbey. There seemed to be a third son, Jasper's younger brother referred to as either Edward, Thomas or most likely Owen Tudor. Jasper the second son was born at the Bishop of Ely’s manor at Hatfield in Hertfordshire around 1431. His elder brother Edmond was born at Much Hadham Palace in Hertfordshire around 1430. Jasper Tudor bore the arms of the kingdom, with the addition of a bordure azure with martlets or (that is, a blue border featuring golden martlets). He was from the noble Tudor family of Penmynydd, North Wales. 1431 – 21/26 December 1495) was the uncle of King Henry VII of England and the architect of his successful conquest of England and Wales in 1485.
