naathDied on this day in 1385 aged 56 Joan of Kent (my toy,wikipedia). Grand-daughter of Edward I, she married her 1st cousin once removed Edward the Black Prince (son of Edward III) and was the mother of Richard II. Joan first married Thomas Holland, secretly and without the King's permission, whilst Thomas was out of the country her family forced her to marry William Montacute. When Thomas came back there was a huge row over this (and William kept Joan prisoner) and Joan wrote to the Pope who said that she was clearly married to Thomas. After Thomas' death Joan married Edward. Joan is often known as "the fair maid of Kent".
