John Beaufort

Was there a John Beaufort Duke of Somerset, who was beheaded in Richard
III's reign? If not then who am I thinking of.

The only "John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset" was Henry VII's maternal
grandfather and died in 1444, before Richard was born. The only Duke
Richard ever had beheaded was Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham. I
have a few online sources to hand and could possibly help further.
