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!

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 ... magaret of york... the portuguese-spanish=-burgundian- french- breton- habsburg- connects to the red prince *john of gaunt & his mother queen philippa of hainault,...

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.

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 great interview

A very interesting listen once again...brilliant👍

thank you, Helen!

Outstanding Discussion, Thank You!✨

He’s one of my favorites and Charles Brandon with King viii … curios characters lol

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.

I have recently been made aware of You through Dr, Katt, I ❤her, Obviously. I thoroughly enjoy your show. You ask great questions as well. Cheers from New England🎉

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.

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.

How does the author explain Constance and Katherine gave birth to Gaunts children almost simultaneously? In fact I think John Beaufort was born first.

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"

Helen Carr is excellent! I could listen to her discuss the medieval history of dog poo and hang on every word!
