Hi,
I just found your group while doing my periodical google search for Katherine Swynford...
At the top-level (http://groups.msn.com/ALLMYTUDORShistorychat/yourwebpage5.msnw) there are a couple of errors somebody might want to fix:
1. John of Gaunt's daughter, Philippa, Queen of Portugal, was the daughter of his first wife, Blanche, not his second wife, Constance (John and Constance did have a daughter, Catherine/Catalina, who I believe was queen regent of Spain).
John and Katherine Swynford's children were John, Thomas, Henry and Joan (Thomas, not Edmund). They weren't really barred from the throne as this was a later interpolation of a parliamentary statute that Henry IV lacked the authority to make.
If anyone's interested in pictures of some of these people, you can find them at the Katherine Swynford Yahoo! group (groups.yahoo.com/group/KatherineSwynford).
Otherwise, I am very excited to have found this group!

Double-checked & fixed.....too many Edmund Beauforts LOL must have been a typo. Thanks for pointing that out. Didn't realize Philippa was the mother of the famous Prince Henry the Navigator! O those Plantagenet begats.....Interesting that John & Constance's daughter was named after Katherine Swynford! |

And, not only that, but when the news was carried to
Edward III, it was carried by Katherine Swynford. She
received some pocket money for being the messenger.
Oh, and I forgot about the other error: While *I* am
certainly of the opinion that Katherine had two
daughters when she become involved with Gaunt (the
Blanche/Blanchette of Seton's book as well as the
Margaret Swynford who ultimately became abbess at
Barking Abbey, having been nominated a nun there by
royal privilege of Richard II's accession), she also
had a son, Thomas Swynford, who succeeded to his
father's somewhat poor estate.
Regards,
Judy
