While it is generally accepted that Antigone was the daughter of Humphrey of Gloucester, there is no firm evidence, and therefore some debate, as to who her mother was. Although she was the illegitimate daughter of Humphrey, he acknowledged her by rearing her in his household & providing for marriage with an exceptionally large dowery of 800 pounds.

In June of 1451, she was presented papers of Legitimization by King Charles VII of France. (Plantagenet Ancestry: A Study In Colonial and Medieval Families, 2nd Edition, by Douglas Richardson, 2011, page 418)
Antigone married Henry Grey, 2nd Earl of Tankerville (1419–1450), 7th Earl of Powis. Her descendents are the only known descendants of King Henry IV still living after 1471.
