Description

Edward the Black Prince was Europe’s most celebrated warrior. Joan of Kent was already notorious for one secret marriage and an accidental second one that sparked a papal court battle. When the two married in secret in 1361, it created a royal crisis that threatened the legitimacy of England’s future heir. In this minicast, we follow Joan from her turbulent childhood and bigamy scandal to her marriage with the Black Prince, their years in Aquitaine, the deaths of their children, Edward’s decline, and her final role guiding young Richard II. A story of ambition, impulse, and a marriage that reshaped the Plantagenet line.
