The Life and Times of Katherine Swynford - Royal Mistress and Wife
This talk will place Katherine within the turmoil caused by the Hundred Years’ War, the deposition of Richard II, and the fallout from the legitimisation of the ‘Beaufort Bastards.’ Her relationship with John of Gaunt will be examined, along with her close ties to the Cathedral. We will also consider the role played by their very powerful children and grandchildren in the Wars of the Roses and the rise of the Tudors.
