Beauforest or Beaufort

Beauforest or Beaufort

Classification: Query
Surnames: Beauforest, Beaufort and Braunche
I accept as already recorded elsewhere that the chances of being descended from Royalty is slim, though I understand that Edward the Third is the most descended from monarch. I claim a descent from Elizabeth Beauforest who was married to Richard Braunche in 1522 in Abingdon. But I read somewhere that Beauforest is a corruption of Beaufort and one line of leaves led me to Thomas Beaufort a son of John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford. But he had only one child a son who died young and as far as I have been able to ascertain, he had no further issue. I would appreciate some clarity in this area as I hate dead ends.
