John was killed and his head was set upon London Bridge.

Excerpt from Blood Royal: About May 1384, John murdered "with circumstances of peculiar atrocity, a Carmelite Friar, who had charged John of Gaunt with high treason." Later, in July 1385, "he slew the Earl of Stafford's eldest son, Ralph de Stafford, in the quarrel which ensued between them" and took sanctuary. The "Complete Peerage", Stafford section, states that he killed Ralph De Stafford "in revenge for the death of his favorite esquire, who was killed in a quarrel by on of Stafford's archers." Though the king, Richard II, promised Stafford's father, Hugh De Stafford, that he would not pardon the murdered, in February 1385/1386, he did pardon Holand, his own half-brother, and returned his possessions to him. Stafford's father (who in 1378 had killed Robert Hawksley "in the quire of Westminster Abbey") in march 1386 received license to voyage overseas on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. He died at Rhodes 16 Oct 1386.

John married Elizabeth Of LANCASTER about 24 Jun 1386. Elizabeth (daughter of John Of GAUNT and Blanche Of LANCASTER) was born on 21 Feb 1363/4; died on 24 Nov 1425; was buried in Burford Church, Salop. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Earl of Richmond. Some say born Jun 1340, but see CP vol.XIV,p.421.Earl of Derby, Lincoln. Duke of Aquitaine. Lord of Beaufort & Nogent.Burke says he died at Ely House, Holborn King of Castile & Leon. Lord of Bergerac & Roche-sur-Yon. The Complete Peerage vol.VII,pp.410-416 & vol.XIV,p.421.

John of Lancaster (f Gaunt), Duke of Lancaster, fourth son, was married for the third time at Lincoln Cathedral on 13 Jan. 1395/6 to Katherine De Roet, widow of Hugh Swynford, Knt., of Coleby and Ketelthorpe, co., Lincoln. (died 1372), and younger daughter and co-heiress of Pain de Roet, Knt., Guienne King of Arms, a Hainaulter, and one of the knights of Queen Philippe's household. She was born probably in Hainault, about 1350 and had formerly been the governess to his daughters, and then his mistress, and by her he had children, born before marriage. The marriage was ratified and confirmed during the Great Schism by the Roman pope, Boniface IX. Their three sons were legitimised, with the assent of parliament, on 9 Feb. 1396/7, the patent confirmed by King Henry IV of 10 Feb. 1406/7, but with a saving clause barring them from succession to the throne. Their children were given the name Beaufort from their father's (lost) castle in Champagne which had devolved on him through his first wife, Blanche of Lancaster, a descendant of Blanche d'Artois who had purchased the lordship of Beaufort in 1270.

Name:
He was created Earl of Richmond on 20 Sep 1342. He was created Duke of Lancaster on 13 Nov 1362 in consequence of the marriage, and was ancestor of the Lancastrian Kings of England. In her right (Constance De Castille) John assumed in September 1371 the title of King of Castille and Leon. From 1376 until his death his diplomatic and military services in France and Guienne, and in Scotland, and his Spanish expedition (1386-88) formed interludes in the factious life of politics in which, as eldest uncle of King Richard II and his chief subject, he was involved. He was created Duke of Aquitaine on 2 Mar 1390.

John married Blanche Of LANCASTER on 19 May 1359 in Queen's Chapel, Reading. Blanche (daughter of Henry "The Wryneck" Of GROSMENT and Isabel DE BEAUMONT) was born on 25 Mar 1345; died on 12 Sep 1368 in Bolingbroke Castle; was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
