Notes: Henry IV (15 April 1367 – 20 March 1413) was King of England and Lord of Ireland from 1399 to 1413. He was the tenth king of the House of Plantagenet and also asserted his grandfather's claim to the Kingdom of France. He was born at Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire, hence his other name, Henry of Bolingbroke /ˈbɒlɪŋbrʊk/. His father, John of Gaunt, was the third son of Edward III, and enjoyed a position of considerable influence during much of the reign of Henry's cousin Richard II, whom Henry eventually deposed. Henry's mother was Blanche, heiress to the considerable Lancaster estates, and thus he became the first King of England from the Lancaster branch of the Plantagenets. Henry married Queen Mary de Bohun, Queen of Henry IV on 5 Feb 1381 in Rochford Hall, Essex. England. Mary (daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford and Joan Fitzalan) died in 1394.

2. | John Plantagenet, of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster was born on 6 Mar 1340 in Ghent, Flanders, Belgium (son of Edward Plantagenet, King Edward III and Philippa, of Hainault); died on 3 Feb 1399 in Leicester Castle, Leicestershire; was buried in St Paul's Cathedral, London, England. Notes: John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster, KG (6 March 1340 – 3 February 1399) was a member of the House of Plantagenet, the third surviving son of King Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault. He was called "John of Gaunt" because he was born in Ghent, then rendered in English as Gaunt. When he became unpopular later in life, scurrilous rumours and lampoons circulated that he was actually the son of a Ghent butcher, perhaps because Edward III was not present at the birth. This story always drove him to fury.[2] John married Blanche, of Lancaster in 1359. Blanche died in 1369. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
