    Who was the last person with a Plantagenet claim to the throne of England not descended from Henry VII?

    Question #41568. Asked by griffinj. (Nov 25 03 12:38 AM)


    Senior Moments

    		Accordoing to http://renaissance.dm.net/compendium/44.html it was Henry Hastings, Earl of Huntington. His mother was Katherine Pole, a descendant of Edward III, and thus the last Plantagenet heir. Claim displaced by the rise of the Tudors, but still valid, especially since he is a man. Supported by Dudley and Norfolk. Died childless in 1571.

    		Thank you and Bravo SM. The last one I could find was Edward Courtney, Earl of Dorset +1556. But I suspected there were probably others.
