#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?

I've been enjoying 'The Granddaughters of Edward III' by #KathrynWarner, thanks to a review copy from #NetGalley. Two queens, several scandals, descendants with competing claims leading to the #WarsOfTheRoses. Many history books focus on half the population; examining what we know of the women provides new perspective. 🧵 1/
