1435 Owen Tudor imprisoned

Sir Owen Tudor (Welsh - Owain ap Maredudd ap Tudur, c. 1400 - 1461) was a Welsh courtier and the second husband of Catherine of Valois (1401 - 1437), Henry V's widow. He was the grandfather of Henry VII, founder of the Tudor dynasty. Following Queen Catherine's death, Owen Tudor lost the protection from the statute on dowager queen's remarriage and was imprisoned in Newgate Prison. In 1438 he escaped but was later recaptured and held in the custody of the constable of Windsor Castle. In 1439 Henry VI of England granted him a general pardon, restoring his goods and lands.
