Upon the death of Edward, Earl of Warwick, the House of Plantagenet became extinct in the male line, an astonishing fate for a dynasty whose members produced many sons, especially Edward III, who had five sons who survived to adulthood. The Plantagenets seem to have been cursed by early deaths and a tendency not to have children. Internal warfare in the family, such as those between the sons of Henry II and the descendants of Edward III, spelled the end of the Plantagenet line.

The Dukes of Beaufort and the Barons Raglan are descendants in the male line of the House of Plantagenet, albeit through illegitimate descent from John of Gaunt.
