#AnneOfGloucester grew up with the library of #Pleshey Castle, commissioned & collected by the #bibliophile #Bohun family, & catalogued in 1397 when her father was arrested. #WomensHistory prompts reflection on household culture, role models, generational influence - & how both we & kings may struggle with inner demons.
🎨 made for Anne's mother, #EleanorDeBohun. 🧵 13/

#rocker & #rockstar, most apt! 🤣
I’m curious which baby #JohnOfGaunt would have been celebrating in 1382, or paying for care? since now writing a thread about #GranddaughtersOfEdwardIII. #KathrynWarner mentions cash gifts to the nurse & squire who brought news of a son born to his brother #ThomasOfWoodstock & #EleanorDeBohun, but, “fille” - so maybe another baby in the household?
