In the year 1340 in the town of Ghent a son was born to Edward lB King of England and his Queen Phillipa. The boy, afterwards known as JOl-IN O’GAUNT (Ghent) grew up to be a warrior and before he was 20 he was fighting in France beside his brother , The Black Prince. For many years he was occupied with the wars in France and Spain and was seldom in England. His first two marriages brought him great riches and position, but the love of his life was Catherine Swynford, who bore him four children. Whilst he was away, his Palace of Savoy was burnt to the ground by the mob during the Peasant’s Revolt. Finally in 1394 he returned home and married his Catherine, for whom he had felt a strong affection since her first marriage in St. Clement Danes Church in the Strand, many years before. The Beaufort children were thus legitimised and from them sprang a long Line of English Kings and Queens.
