'Kathryn Warner shines a light on the less well known story of this medieval legend, with a wealth of well-researched background that provides a useful context for understanding John of Gaunt's complex life.'

- The Writing Desk,

'Kathryn Warner has once again illuminated the life of a famous Plantagenet figure through genealogical and financial records.'

- Adventures of a Tudor Nerd,

'This detailed biography - which, fittingly, begins with a cast list from half a dozen nations - profiles Gaunt, his dramatic exploits and relationships with those closest to him, from his royal origins to his long-term relationship with Katherine Swynford.'

- BBC History Revealed Magazine, February 2022,

‘Old John of Gaunt, time-honour’d Lancaster’ John of Gaunt (1340–1399) was the son of one king and the father of another. He claimed a Spanish kingdom via his wife, daughter of King Pedro the Cruel. He was the wealthiest, most powerful and most hated man in England for decades. He had a famous and enduring love affair with his mistress Katherine Swynford, whom he later married. He was sometimes the ally and sometimes the enemy of his capricious nephew Richard II. His descendants battled for control of the kingdom during the Wars of the Roses. Via his three marriages, he was the ancestor of numerous royal and noble families across Europe. John of Gaunt is the first biography of this most intriguing of men to appear for decades, and the first to tell his personal story.
