Reply to comment by trueslicky in Katherine Swynford and the Illicit Affair That Birthed Centuries' Worth of British Monarchs by trueslicky
I have a history podcast and I just finished a series of three episodes on John of Gaunt. I think he gets overlooked due to the Wars of the Roses and being the younger brother of the Black Prince. I was actually really impressed by him marrying Kathrine Swynford years after their relationship ended and legitimising their children. It was probably both a romantic and thoughtful decision.
I find it interesting that every single monarch in Europe except the monarch of Andorra and the Vatican are descended from him (and with the number of children their daughter Joan had I wouldn’t be surprised if one of those three could be descended from him). I’m actually about to read Katherine’s biography even though I won’t be doing an episode on her. I’ll add this to my reading list.

Could you share the name of that podcast?

Yes, I didn’t want to post unless asked. It’s called Passed. The podcast about those who would never rule. You can find it on Apple and most other podcast hosts (though not Google, we’re working on it). The hosting website is below. Please let me know what you think.
