ReplyDeleteKathryn,
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing the book Philippa of Hainault. I look forward to reading it as I am a descendent of her and her husband, Edward III. However, the amazing part is that I am also a descendent of 4 of her sons, and can trace every generation from me up through each of them:
Edmund Langely Duke of York
John of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster
Thomas of Woodstock Duke of Gloucester
Lionel of Antwerp Duke of Clarence
