Far more detail explaining things about Gaunt, such as why he was so focused on Castile and being the ruler/power behind that. Also a good clear example of how he ended up Duke of Lancaster and so rich. Also a great illustration of why Leicester was so steadfastly loyal to the Lancasters, and in turn, John, when he became the Duke (son in law of the late Duke Henry)

Building on what I already know of Gaunt, which is, that I like him, and that he seems to be his generation’s Richard Duke of York (the Protector, not his son Richard III) in that he was close to the crown, had very good ideas and put his sons into power thru his hard work and mechanations. I’m happy to hear otherwise too!

Good start so far, already learned a new word and some good context in depth about the time of Gaunt’s birth
