Episode 308: John of Gaunt & Katherine Swynford

In this episode, we trace the scandalous yet enduring relationship
between John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford, from mistress and
governess to Duchess of Lancaster. Their children, the Beauforts,
carried the stain of illegitimacy but became central to English
politics, and through Margaret Beaufort, their bloodline gave rise
to the Tudor dynasty.
