Died: Feb 11, 1503
Reigned: Jan 18, 1486 - Feb 11, 1503
Wife of Henry VII, daughter of King Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. Is technically the true ruler of England as the oldest heir. Is Also 5th cousins with Henry. She also did not use much political influence due to her strong willed mother-in-law Margaret Beaufort.

Henry VII Tudor

Died: April 21, 1509
Reigned: Aug 22, 1485 – April 21, 1509
Note: Former Earl of Richmond. Great Great Great Grandson of Edward III through John of Gaunt. Son of Edmund Tudor Earl of Richmond and Lady Margaret Beaufort.

Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond
Born: May 31, 1441/1443 (though most likely 1443)
Died: June 29, 1509
Married Edmund Tudor Earl of Richmond: Nov 1, 1455
Note: She refused to accept a lower status than the dowager Queen and as well as her daughter-in-law and walked only a half pace behind her and wore the same quality robes as the Queen. She was practically the queen as she was strong willed and did not let Elizabeth of York have much power. It is believed she is responsible for the banishment of Elizabeth Woodville by Henry VII at her request. The birth of her son was very difficult and left her unable to have anymore children (Princess Sophie of Bavaria the mother of Franz Joseph Emperor of Austria was very much like her as she was also very controlling of her son and had issues with his wife, both placed their sons on the thrones, except Margaret never took her grandchildren from their mother.)
Note: Edmund died Nov 3, 1456 at 25.

Yes the dates for Margaret Beaufort are correct for her birthdate, marriage and when she had her son.
