Gaunt was son of Edward III, brother to the Black Prince, father to Henry IV and the sire of all those Tudors. He's had a pretty bad press: supposed usurper of Richard II's crown and the focus of hatred in the Peasants' Revolt (they torched his home, the Savoy Palace). Helen Carr will paint a complex portrait of a man who held the levers of power on the English and European stage, passionately upheld chivalric values, pressed for the Bible to be translated into English, patronised the arts ... and, if you follow Shakespeare, gave the most beautiful oration on England ('this sceptred isle... this blessed plot'). An engrossing drama of political machinations, violence, romance and tragedy played out at the cusp of a new era.
