KatherineSwynford The Story of John of Gaunt and his Scandalous Duchess is a biography of KatherineSwynford written by Alison Weir historian Alison Weir and published in 2007. In the US, the book is titled Mistress of the Monarchy The Life of KatherineSwynford, Duchess of Lancaster . KatherineSwynford was the mistress and later the third wife of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster John of Gaunt , third surviving son of Edward III of England Edward III . Through their Legitimation legitimized children, she is an ancestress of several royal dynasty dynasties . As Weir notes, ...no letter survives, no utterance of hers is recorded. None of her movable goods are extant...Her will is lost...She is famous but, paradoxically, she is little known. Weir reconstructs her subject s history through entries in court and municipal records, the descriptions of chronicle rs including Thomas Walsingham and Jean Froissart Froissart , and other sources the list of primary sources alone occupies over 7 pages. A full telling of Katherine s life emerges from these, and from other inferences based on the author s understanding of 14th century England. The resulting portrait is necessarily veiled &mdash John of Gaunt emerges more clearly than she does &mdash but still enough is established to show an intelligent and devoted companion and mother. In an appendix, Weir briefly discusses the novel Katherine novel Katherine , by Anya Seton , which had already made their subject familiar to a broad reading public. The book ISBN 0224063219 was first published in Great Britain by Jonathan Cape . Category Biography book stubs Category 2007 books ... more details
