‘Old John of Gaunt, time-honour’d Lancaster’ John of Gaunt
(1340–1399) was the son of one king and the father of another. He
claimed a Spanish kingdom via his wife, daughter of King Pedro the
Cruel. He was the wealthiest, most powerful and most hated man in
England for decades. He had a famous and enduring love affair with
his mistress Katherine Swynford, whom he later married. He was
sometimes the ally and sometimes the enemy of his capricious nephew
Richard II. His descendants battled for control of the kingdom
during the Wars of the Roses. Via his three marriages, he was the
ancestor of numerous royal and noble families across Europe. John
of Gaunt is the first biography of this most intriguing of men to
appear for decades, and the first to tell his personal story.
