I am thoroughly enjoying your podcasts and am now up to Episode 79, not bad in two months. I am soon only going to have one a week!
The Greatest Knight by Elizabeth Chadwick. A fabulous book about William The Marshall
David
Wasn’t Eleanor of Castile the first wife of Edward I?
You are so right! Sorry, I have problems with my Provences and Castiles. Now updated.
David, I’m new to podcasts. Really enjoying yours! Into the 50s episodes from a start about six week ago. I was pulling the next family trees from your website. I cannot get the Plantagenets to Lancaster – it’s not loading. Thanks for what you’re doing.
Hi Jim – thanks for letting me know – and now updated.
I don’t understand why John of Gaunt wasn’t made king since he was the eldest surviving son of Edward III. Why was that?
Hi Matt. It’s because Edward III’s eldest son was Edward the Black Prince, and descent goes down the senior male line – and although Edward died before the King, he had a son, Richard, who was therefore heir as soon as he was born
Shouldn’t Henry IV be 1399-1413 and Richard II be 1377 to 1399?
Loving the shows.
Thanks Paul – amended!
Henry IV’s entry is a bit muddled. He wasn’t born in 1399, so his dates should be 1367-1413. And his reign has a typo. Should be 1399-1413. (Henry died on March 20, 1413.) Really enjoying the podcast, though only started listening about a month ago. Hoping to get caught up!
