John Anjou Lancaster Plantagenet Duke of Lancaster

[INDIV2.DAT]

He was the 1st Duke of Lancaster and Edward III's fourth son. He was known as John of Gaunt "Ghent". Titular King of Castile and Leon. Prince of England.

In 20 Richard II, by act of parliament his children with Catherine Roelt were declared legitimate for all but inheriting the crown in spite of being born out of wedlock.

Birth Place: Abby de St Bavon, Ghent, Flander-Orientale, Belgium
He may have been born 24 Jun 1340.
Burial Place: St Paul's Cathedral, London, Middlesex, England
Marriage Place: Rochefort-sur-Mer, Charente-Maritime, France

TITLE 1st Duke of Lancaster, Knight of the Garter
BIRT PLACE Ghent (now in Belgium)

John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster (1340-99), English soldier and statesman, the fourth son of King Edward III of England, and brother of Edward, the Black Prince. John was born in March 1340 in Ghent (M.E., Gaunt), now in Belgium. In 1359 he married Blanche, daughter of Henry, duke of Lancaster; when Henry died, John became duke.

John of Gaunt played an important part in the wars of the period between England and France and between England and Spain. He commanded a division of the English army, led by the Black Prince, that defeated the army of Henry (later Henry II, king of Castile and León) at Nájera in 1367. As a result of his second marriage, to Constance, daughter of Peter the Cruel (king of Castile and León), John laid claim to the throne of Castile. During the Hundred Years' War, he aided (1370-71) the Black Prince against France and established English rule over most of southern France. After a severe illness forced the return of the Black Prince to England, John took command of the English armies; by 1380 he had lost much of the territory the English had previously won. In 1386 John invaded Castile, but was defeated by John I, king of Castile and León. John of Gaunt gave up his claim to Castile and León in 1387, when his daughter married Henry, later Henry III, king of Castile and León.

John of Gaunt was also prominent in English affairs. Together with Alice Perrers, his father's mistress, John dominated the English government. He was opposed by Parliament and by the Black Prince. In 1376 Parliament banished Alice Perrers and curtailed John's powers. The death of the Black Prince that year and the dissolution of Parliament, however, enabled John to regain his power. In 1377, on the death of Edward III and the accession of Richard II (John's nephew and son of the Black Prince), John gave up his control of the government and thereafter played the role of peacemaker; he also supported the king, by whom he was made (1390) duke of Aquitaine. In 1396, after the death of his second wife, John married his mistress Catherine Swynford, and Richard legitimized their children the following year. Saddened by the exile (1398) of his son, Henry of Lancaster (later King Henry IV of England), John died on February 3 of the following year. Microsoft (R) Encarta.
