Note
|
John of Gaunt played an important part in the wars of the period between England and France and between England and Spain. He commanded a division of the English army, led by the Black Prince, that defeated the army of Henry (later Henry II,king of Castile and Leon) at Najera in 1367. As a result of his second marriage, to Constance, daughter of Pedro III the Cruel (king of Castile and Leon) John laid claim to the throne of Castile. During the Hundred Years' War, he aided (1370-71)the Black Prince against France and established English rule over most of southern France. After a severe illness forced the return of the Black Prince to England, John took command of the English armies; by 1380 he had lost much of theterritory the English had previously won. In 1386 John invaded Castile, but was defeated by John I, king of Castile and Leon, John of Gaunt gave up his claim to Castile and Leon in 1387, when his daughter married Henry, later Henry III, king ofCastile and Leon. |
