John of Gaunt, son of Edward III and one of the most powerful men in Europe, shocked England with his long affair with Katherine Swynford, his children’s governess and the widow of a minor knight. Their relationship produced the Beaufort family, born illegitimate but later legitimized, whose descendants would change history. In this episode, we explore: How Katherine rose from obscurity to Duchess of Lancaster The scandal that enraged Parliament and fueled public hatred John’s renunciation of Katherine after the Peasants’ Revolt Their late marriage in 1396 and the legitimization of their children How their great-granddaughter, Margaret Beaufort, brought the Tudors to the throne Without John and Katherine, there would be no Tudors. Their love story - condemned in their lifetime - became one of the most consequential romances in English history. 👑 Grab your ticket to Tudorcon 2025 (or Tudorcon From Home!) here: https://www.englandcast.com/tudorcon or https://www.englandcast.com/TudorconF... ---Renaissance English History Podcast Website: https://www.englandcast.com/ Patreon:   / englandcast   Tudor Learning Circle (book club & discussions): https://www.tudorlearningcircle.com/ Facebook:   / englandcast   Twitter:   / teysko   ITunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
