The Beaufort line is in my view a tricky one to compare to. They are the result of children born outside of a marriage to a woman who did not have a particularly high status. For her it would have been beneficial to have any children born to her after the death of her first husband to be attributed to a Royal prince. However unlike most royal wives she was not as strictly guarded and or protected from other men.
Unfortunately the Beaufort line is all we have to go on for surviving male line Plantagenet descendants however theoretical. That's why I favour using the DNA of a Plantagenet king to compare Y chromosomes. Anyone who's Y chromosome matches, for instance, King John's, who is as close to the origins of the dynasty as one can get, is obviously bona fide.
