Katherine Swynford (book cover) [in Research]
Biography
| Birth | 25 November 1349 | Katherine de Roet was born on 25 November 1349 in Province of Hainaut, Belgium, EuropeG. |
| Marriage | 13 January 1395 | John Plantagenêt, of Gaunt, and she were married on 13 January 1395 at Lincoln CathedralG in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England (Medieval), EuropeG. Their 4 children (adults at the time of the marriage) were legitimized with the name of Beaufort with the approval of King Richard II and the Pope |
| Death | 10 May 1403 | She died on 10 May 1403 at age 53 in Province of Hainaut, Belgium, EuropeG. The cause of her death (at the age of 54) on Tuesday, May 10th, 1403 was not known-surviving in 1403 was difficult
Died as the Duchess of Lancaster |
| Name | | Katherine de Roet was also known as Katharine Catherine. |
| Note | | A Ms. Alison Weir recounts one of the greatest and most remarkable love stories of medieval England in her 2007 book, "Katherine Swynford, the story of John of Gaunt and his Scandalous Duchess" (see web link)
She quotes:
"It is the extraordinary tale of an exceptional woman, Katherine Swynford, who became the mistress (and later the wife) of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. Her charismatic lover was one of the most powerful princes of the fourteenth century their relationship was passionate, and ultimately poignant
Katherine was renowned for her beauty; she was enigmatic and intriguing; and some of her contemporaries regarded her as dangerous. Her colourful existence was played out against a vivid backdrop of court life at the height of the age of chivalry, and she knew most of the great figures of the time-among them, her brother-in-law, the poet Geoffrey Chaucer. She lived through the Hundred Years War, the Black Death and the Peasants' Revolt, she knew loss, adversity and heartbreak, and she survived them all triumphantly
Although Katherine's story provides unique insights into the life of a medieval woman, she was far from typical in that chauvinistic age. She was an important person in her own right, a woman who had remarkable opportunities, made her own choices, flouted convention and took control of her own destiny-even of her own public image
She was clearly intelligent, with immense ability, and fortunate enough to move in circles where these qualities were valued and encouraged in women. Although she was to suffer a moral backlash, she coped brilliantly with the sweeping, and sometimes devastating, changes of fortune that befell her
