- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- In this month's historian interview, with Helen Carr we explore the life of a man you probably didn't know was so interesting.....John of Gaunt!
Known mainly as the father of the usurper Henry Bolingbroke and of the bastard Beaufort line of Margaret Beaufort, through whom Henry VII claimed legitimacy for his claim to be King of England.
There's lots more to this man than you may realise, not least that he was King of Castile and it is from he that Katherine of Aragon claimed descent from kings of England (his father being Edward III).
I hope you find this interview as interesting to listen to as I found it to record.

This was an excellent discussion on someone that we all know but also don't really know, if you get what I mean. I can't wait to read her book!
What a wonderful interview. It provided great empathy for the human story of John of Gaunt. It seems a shame that he never wore the crown of England with so many kings in his ancestry and so many kings and queens who descended from him.
Thank you for your comments Robert and thank you for taking the time.
Plantagenet blood was settled on Portugal through John of Gaunt's daughter, Phillipa who married Kind John I of Portugal. The Medieval sublime figures of Portugal (Like Henry the Navigator), are Phillipa's sons. Another curiosity: Kind of Portugal Duarte (John I elder son, so, Phillipa's son) has this name from his Great Grandfather, Eduard III of England.
isabella of portugal... the princess,... daughter of queen -reinha filipa de portugal... became duchess of burgundy...her daughter in law & cousin ...

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Helen Carr about an esteemed prince who I am relieved never became a king, and supported his brother Edward of Woodstock. After all look at the mess and unhappiness Henry II’s sons caused. He was obviously a man of loyalty, passion and personal conviction. He is my ancestor, I’m one of the millions of his descendants, through his grandson Edward Neville.n
thank you, Helen!
Outstanding Discussion, Thank You!✨
Fantastic discussion! The book was phenomenal. A worthwhile read for anyone who is a fan of Gaunt, the Lancastrians & Beauforts, or is interested in the Wars of the Roses. This was one of my favorite reads this year. I wish I could get my hands on a signed copy.
He’s one of my favorites and Charles Brandon with King viii … curios characters lol

dr kat, nathan amin, philippa langley..
seems to be many different phillipas...
named after
queen phillipa of hainault or queen philipa of portugal?
Helen’s book is great, but I would wholeheartedly recommend the books of Nathan Amin and Matt Lewis who (I dare say) mapped out John’s life and legacy in an far more detailed and complex way.
Is this really an apprise written comment. I think that you could do better. Be kind
A book that is highly recommended by scholars as a great in-depth study of John was by Sydney Armitage-Smith published around 1904. Simply entitled John of Gaunt. I have a copy myself, and it goes into great detail about his life. The bequests in his will are very interesting as well. All of which is contained in this work.
Helen Carr is excellent! I could listen to her discuss the medieval history of dog poo and hang on every word!
😂
Is bastard half-brother, Enrique Trastamara, supported by nobility contrary to Pedro that was popular with
villagers burgeois, and peasants. that was his surname was contradictory was "the Cruel" and "the fair"
👑❣️✨
How does the author explain Constance and Katherine gave birth to Gaunts children almost simultaneously? In fact I think John Beaufort was born first.
I've got his DNA...it has done zero for me but I'm still hopeful.
He’s one of my favorites and Charles Brandon with King viii … curios characters lol
