Margaret Beaufort dies in childbirth

When Margaret Beaufort gave birth to Henry Tudor in 1457, she was only 13 years old and according to some historians was expected to die along with her child. So what if Margaret and her son Henry die during/shortly after the birth?

What are the shorter and longer term consequences for the Wars of the Roses and for England in general?

Illegitimate, therefore ineligible.
If a right of succession through the Beaufort line was recognised at all, which was disputed at the time (due to their first generation's members themselves being legitimised bastards), then anybody with Beaufort blood through legitimate birth would have a better claim.
Firstly: Eleanor Beaufort (1431–16 August 1501), daughter of Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset and his wife, Lady Eleanor Beauchamp, Duchess of Somerset, sister to the 3rd and 4th Dukes of Somerset.


Eleanor married Sir Robert Spencer (as her second husband, the first marriage having been childless) in about 1470, and they had two daughters:
And then her sisters (Elizabeth, Lady Fitz Lewis; Anne Paston; Joan, Lady St Lawrence, Lady Fry), and any descendants of those through legitimate lines; and then the descendants through legitimate lines of Joan Beaufort, who had married James I of Scotland; and then the descendants through legitimate lines of [another] Margaret Beaufort, who had wed Thomas Courtenay Earl of Devon; and then the descendants through legitimate lines of Joan, Countess of Westmoreland, who included not only Richard of York’s wife Cecily & thus their [legitimate] heirs but also several members of the Neville family such as ‘Warwick the Kingmaker’.

Henri Tudor has ignored this problem, and... Edward IV too... Richard III too. They were the grandsons of Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland, the fourth of the four illegitimate children (and only daughter) of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster, and his mistress, later wife, Katherine Swynford.

No Henry VIII! England will not have a religious schism or dissolution of the monasteries. Richard III will not have to fight against Henry Tudor at Bosworth, however, it is possible that the Duke of Somerset gave him some white hair.
