Antoine Pitre
19 July 1706 Port Royal, Acadia - After 1755
Antoine Pitre was born on the 19th of July 1706 at Port Royal, Acadia, the eldest child of Francois Pitre and Anne Prejean. Ten siblings were to follow. Antoine’s father died at the age of 48, leaving Antoine at nineteen as the eldest male in the household. They remained at Port Royal where his mother married a second time to widower Michel Boudrot in 1732. (His brother Jean Baptiste and three sisters would all marry Boudrot offspring of Michel and first wife Cecile Leblanc.)
Antoine himself married about the same time as his mother’s remarriage. He married Anne Comeau, the 12th of 15 children born to Jean Augustin Comeau and Catherine Babin. They settled in the Riviere aux Canards and Grand Pre area where they spent the next twenty years.
In 1755 included on the list of prisoners held at Grand Pre to be deported were the names of Antoine Pitre, Dominique Pitre and two Simon Pitres. (I believe these to be Antoine and his 15-year-old son Simon, Antoine’s brother Simon Eustache and probably a son of Simon Eustache.)
Early in 1756 Antoine’s family along with hundreds of others were removed from the Grand Pre area. They were probably put on the Virginia Packet which arrived in Bristol, England in mid-June of 1756. The prisoners were held at Stapleton, just north of the city. Daughter Nathalie may have already married Paul Boudrot by then as their son was born in England.
Antoine may have survived the journey but not the deprivations experienced in England. Seven years after their arrival (1763) the survivors sailed to St. Malo on the king’s frigate La Dorothee. They were listed as Pierre not Pitre on the manifest and included Antoine’s widow, Anne Comeau now almost 55, sons Simon and Joseph, daughters Marie and Agnes, and widowed Nathalie and her 5-year-old son Cesar Pierre Boudrot.
They settled in St. Servan, where Anne Comeau died on the 30th of August 1772. Of their children: Nathalie had remarried to Jean Jacques Leblanc in 1766 but she arrived as a widow in Louisiana in 1785 with two children; Simon married Genevieve Richard in 1767 but died in hospital in France three years later (his widow and daughter left for Louisiana in 1785). I have no further records for Marie, Agnes or Joseph.

General Notes: Husband - Claude Pitre
Claude was born about February 1671, appearing in the 1671 census as a 9-month-old, the youngest of Jean and Marie's three children at that census. Acadia at that time was a community of about 400 people.
Over the next 20 years a relative stability existed within the colony, as they farmed, fished and traded. As relations were becoming more heated with the British, Claude married, probably at Port Royal c1696, to Marie Anne Comeau who was about eighteen. She was the oldest daughter of early Acadians Pierre Comeau, known as l'Esturgeon, and Jeanne Bourg. Having eight children over the next eleven years must have taken its toll as Marie Anne died at the age of twenty-nine only a month after their twins were born.
Claude now had at least six children to care for as well as earn a living. Maybe this was an unappealing proposition for young women in the area, because it was two and a half years before he remarried. (It’s possible that his youngest sister Jeanne, who is probably the "daughter over 12" appearing with their widowed mother in the 1707 census, took over the domestic duties for his family. Their stepfather had died 9 months prior, and their mother died 5 months after Marie Anne’s death so she could have easily stepped into the role. What became of her is unknown.) Twenty-two-year-old Anne Henry became Claude’s second wife during the winter of 1710. Anne was the middle child of Robert Henry, a Frenchman, and Marie Madeleine Godin, a Quebecois.
Eight months later Port Royal, having been given no assistance by the French, surrendered to the English forces. The inhabitants of Port Royal and those people living within three miles were granted permission to stay for two years by taking the oath of allegiance. The rest of Acadia came under English control in 1713. Most wanted to leave but it was almost impossible to do so.
The 1714 census still finds Claude, Anne, and their eight children in Port Royal. The 1717 burial registers record the death of Claude's two-week-old son Rene and six months later his 15-year-old son Jean. Five of Claude's children from his first marriage marry in Port Royal during the 1720's, so presumably Claude was still there. By the late-1720's Claude was in his mid-fifties. (The conditional oath had made the Acadians French neutrals so their lives were relatively peaceful until 1744.)
Claude and Anne were still in Port Royal in 1726, but daughter Marie Josephe married in Chipoudy in 1734. Possibly Claude died during this time and the remaining family moved away from Port Royal. I have no record of his death but his widow is listed in the 1752 and the 1754/55 censuses at Chipoudy. (Three of their sons, Pierre, Joseph and Charles, were prisoners at Halifax in 1763.) Of Claude's children from his first marriage, one died on Ile St. Jean, two in France and one in Louisiana; from the second marriage, one died in France, and three others in exile in Quebec, as did his widow Anne, in hospital, in 1757.

[Early Acadia - Painting by Claude Picard: see album]
François dit Nordest Pitre
[ Dit Name: François Pitre's dit name was Nordest. The French word "Dit" in this context means "called." People might take a 'dit' name to distinguish their family from another family of the same name living nearby. In our ancestor's case, it could have indicated the location of his family within the settlement (Nordest meaning North-east in French). Often it was a sort of nickname, sometimes picked up during service as a soldier. Or it might refer to the place in France where the family originated. Occasionally, it was the mother's surname, and sometimes the father's first name was used, either instead of the surname. In any case, very often the dit name was passed down to later generations replacing the original surname, or in addition to it. For example, as the descendants of François Pitre dit Nordest, our family name could easily have become Nordest instead of Pitre. "According to Stephen White, 'dit Nordest' continued to be used in our family line until the fourth generation of Michel Pitre & Marie-Josephe Orillon. (White 66) "]
Son of Jean Pitre and Marie Pesselet, François dit Nordest was born around 1682 in Port-Royal. He was still young in 1690 when Phipps and his Soldiers arrived in his region. At the age of 11, in 1693, he lost his father and his family lived through difficult times.
By 1697, peace returns to Acadia with the Treaty of Ryswick, which makes Acadia French soil again and the New Englanders leave.

François lived during the period considered as the Golden Age of Acadian History. At the age of twenty-three, François Pitre marries Anne Préjean in Port Royal on July 27th, 1705. The young couple settles in Port Royal where all their children are born. François Pitre and Anne Préjean are not found in the census of 1707 or 1710 but it is most likely that they lived with or near Anne's family. They are listed on the 1714 census as the immediate neighbours of Jean Préjean dit le Breton.
[ The Golden Age: During the first half of the 18th century, the Acadian birth rate was relatively high and the child mortality rate was low. This period of Acadian history ( 1680- 1740 ) is known as the Golden Age. Large families were not uncommon and often many generations lived under on roof.

After five years, this family finds itself in danger again when the New Englanders seized Port-Royal. Even with the resistance of 258 soldiers, the Fort was lost in mid-October of 1710. The 481 inhabitants again surrendered to the English.
Three years later, by the Treaty of Utreck in 1713, Acadia becomes Nova Scotia but the surrounding Ile Royale (Cap Breton) & Ile St-Jean (P.E.I.) and part of what is now New Brunswick, remained part of France. Acadians were given the right to practice their religion, own and keep their properties, but they became British Subjects.
As British Subjects, François Pitre and his family lived a relatively peaceful life for the next few years.
However on December 6th, 1725, François passed away leaving his wife and ten children in mourning. Like his father before him, he died young, at only 43 years old.

Francois Pitre
1682 Port Royal - 5 December 1725 Port Royal
Francois Pitre was born c1682 in Port Royal, Acadia and was to remain the youngest son in the family. Even though his father died when he was only seven, his mother remarried fairly soon providing some sort of stability for Francois and his siblings. The family continued to live in the Port Royal area.
In the summer of 1705 Francois married 18-year-old Anne Prejean, the second daughter of French-born Jean Prejean and his Acadian wife Andree Savoie. They had eleven children over the next twenty years, much of which was spent under British rule. In 1725 personal tragedy struck. Twins Anne and Theotiste were born at the end of August, but within three months both the twins had died as well as Francois, who was only 44.
Anne was left with nine children, and they were on their own for the next seven years. In 1732, with four of her brood married, she married again to a widower, Michel Boudrot, who had lost his wife the previous spring. Her daughter had married one of his sons the previous year, and two more daughters and a son would also go on to marry his offspring.

Jean Denis Pitre
1680 Port Royal - aft. 1724
Jean Denis was the seventh child born to Jean & Marie at Port Royal. His father died when he was about nine, so he and his siblings were raised by his mother and her second husband Francois Robin. Jean and his brother Pierre were probably recruited by the elder Pierre Thibodeau around 1698 to help with the construction of a new flour mill at Chipoudy.
Jean returned to Port Royal to marry Francoise Babin, the tenth child of Antoine Babin & Marie Mercier (French-born Acadians). By the autumn of 1700 the mill was up and running and Jean was settled there with his new family. Jean may have traveled for the mill as he was godfather to Noel Doiron's first child born in Boston in 1706. On the 28th of June 1714, the couple and their children were among the group of Acadians who had gone to Ile Royale to check its suitability.
Jean and Francoise had twelve children over a twenty-five year span (not uncommon), and they probably died somewhere in Acadia, as there is no sign of the couple having sought refuge by the mid-1700's. Many of their children were not so fortunate. Eldest son Jean Baptiste and his wife died at sea during the crossing to France from Ile St. Jean. Son Joseph and his wife, son Michel and his wife, and daughter Madeleine and her husband (Louis Mathieu Doiron, Jean's godson who had been baptized in Boston) all died in the shipwreck of the Duke William; daughter Cecile and her husband in the shipwreck of the Violet; and son Germain and his wife in the West Indies.

General Notes: Husband - Marc Pitre
Marc Pitre
Marc was born c1673 at Port Royal, the fourth child of Jean and Marie. His father died when he was about sixteen but a stepfather fairly quickly appeared. With continuing attacks on Port Royal from New England, perhaps Marc delayed settling down as he did not marry until he was about 26. Around 1699 he married Jeanne Brun, the eldest child of native Acadians, Sebastien Brun and Huguette Bourg, and who was about three years his junior. It's certainly possible that they had more than four surviving children, but at this point only the four listed have been traced back to this couple.
They seemed to have settled initially in Port Royal, where two sons were born. Port Royal was again attacked in 1704 so that may have prompted the move south to Cap Sable, as there are no other children of theirs in the Port Royal baptism registers and they next appeared in the 1708 census for Cap Sable. In the 1714 census of Acadia that lay within English control, the couple was listed with two sons and two daughters. This accounts for the four traceable offspring.
According to his declaration at Belle Ile en Mer, their eldest child Claude Marc married at Cobequit in 1724, but it is unknown whether Marc and Jeanne were still alive. Possibly the family moved up to Cobequit in an attempt to escape English-controlled Acadia. The children seemed to have married either in Cobequit or Beaubassin. This would be a path of exile leading eventually to Ile St. Jean for a son and a daughter, and to Miramichi for another son. Their youngest daughter died in Beaubassin at the age of 33. It has been suggested that Marc’s widow Jeanne Brun was a refugee, with their son Jean Marc and his wife Judth Theriot, at Miramichi in 1760.

Simon Eustache Pitre
20 May 1717 Port Royal, Acadia -- After 1748
Simon Eustache Pitre was born on the 20th of May 1717 at Port Royal, Acadia, the 6th child and 3rd son of Francois Pitre and Anne Prejean. When Simon was eight his father died. His mother remarried to widower Michel Boudrot in 1732. Simon, one brother and two of his sisters were still single at this time, out of eleven siblings altogether.
About five years later, 20-year-old Simon married Anne Marie Hebert. The family was probably settled in Grand Pre by this time. I have been able to definitively trace only three daughters to this couple thus far. There was Marguerite born about 1738, who married Joseph Furne c1759. Then there were two Ceciles, the first born in 1746, the second in 1748. Neither, if both survived, married that I can find.
In 1755, there was a group of Acadians held in the St. Charles des Mines Church at Grand Pre awaiting deportation. Amongst the men and boys listed there were two Simon Pitres, an Antoine and a Dominique. Possibly one of those was Simon Eustache age 38, two others may have been his brother Antoine age 49 and Antoine’s son Simon age 15. Maybe Dominique was Simon’s son.
If they survived their imprisonment long enough to be deported they may have perished at sea. Antoine Pitre certainly died between 1755 and 1763, but his widow (with some of her children including son Simon) disembarked at St. Malo from England on 23rd May 1763 from the ship La Dorothee. I have no other record of Simon Eustache Pitre, his wife Anne Marie Hebert, or Dominique Pitre.
Simon’s daughter Marguerite and her husband Joseph Furne were initially deported to New England, and then made their way to Mirebalais, St. Dominigue in the West Indies. By 1770 Marguerite and her five children were dead at Mirebalais

General Notes: Wife - Blanche Plantagenet
Blanche of Lancaster
(25 March 1345 - 12 September 1369) Countess of Derby was an English noblewoman and heiress. She was the first wife of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster and the mother of King Henry IV of England.[1]
Lineage
Born on 25 March 1345, Blanche was the younger daughter of Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster and his wife Isabel de Beaumont. She and her elder sister Maud, Countess of Leicester were born at Bolingbroke Castle in Lindsey.
Her paternal grandparents were Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster and Maud de Chaworth. Her maternal grandparents were the 1st Earl of Buchan and Alice Comyn.[1] Her sister Maud married firstly, Ralph de Stafford and secondly William I, Duke of Bavaria.[1] However, Maud did not have children from either marriage.
Marriage
On 19 May 1359, at Reading Abbey, Reading, Berkshire, Blanche married her third cousin, John of Gaunt, third son of King Edward III of England and his Queen consort, Philippa of Hainault.
The title Duke of Lancaster became extinct upon her father's death without male heirs in 1361. However, through his marriage to Blanche, John of Gaunt became Earl of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, Earl of Lincoln and Earl of Leicester (although Gaunt did not receive all of these titles until the death of Blanche's older sister, Maud, in 1362). The Duchy of Lancaster (second creation) was later bestowed on Gaunt. The influence associated with the titles would lead him to become Lord High Steward of England.
The marriage was said to have been happy. Blanche has been described as very beautiful with blonde hair, blue eyes and a serene, calm demeanour. Blanche and John had six children, three of whom survived infancy.
Bubonic plague
In 1369, bubonic plague struck England for the third time, and among the dead was Blanche of Lancaster. She was living in Bolingbroke Castle, Lincolnshire at the time, while her husband was away. Her funeral at St. Paul's Cathedral in London was preceded with a magnificent cortege attended by most of the nobility and clergy. John of Gaunt held annual commemorations of her death for some years thereafter. For one of these commemorations, Geoffrey Chaucer, then a young squire and mostly unknown writer of court poetry, was commissioned to write what became The Book of the Duchess, in her honour. Though Chaucer's intentions can never be defined with absolute certainty, many believe that at least one of the aims of The Book of the Duchess was an attempt to make John of Gaunt see that his grief for his late wife had become excessive and to subtly prod him to try to overcome it.
In 1374, five years after her death, John of Gaunt ordered effigies made of himself and his wife. Twenty-five years later, Gaunt was laid to rest next to Blanche; the two are buried at an unknown location in St. Paul's Cathedral.
Issue
Blanche's Children with John of Gaunt:
· Philippa (31 March 1360 - 19 July 1415). Queen consort of John I of Portugal.

· Henry IV of England (3 April 1367 - 20 March 1413). Married firstly Mary de Bohun and secondly Joanna of Navarre.
· Isabella (1368). Died young.
Blanche's daughter, Philippa, married John of Portugal and made Blanche the ancestor of kings of Portugal and this line leads to Isabella I of Castile, and through Isabella, Blanche is an ancestor of monarchs in many different countries. Her son, Henry, became King of England after he overthrew his cousin, Richard II of England, (Eldest son of John's brother Edward the Black prince). Henry's reign marked the beginning of a cadet branch of the Plantaganet line, making Blanche's family the House of Lancaster the new ruling house in England.

However, through his marriage to Blanche, John of Gaunt became Earl of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, Earl of Lincoln and Earl of Leicester (although Gaunt did not receive all of these titles until the death of Blanche's older sister, Maud, in 1362). The Duchy of Lancaster (second creation) was later bestowed on Gaunt. The influence associated with the titles would lead him to become Lord High Steward of England.
The marriage was said to have been happy. Blanche has been described as very beautiful with blonde hair, blue eyes and a serene, calm demeanour. Blanche and John had six children, three of whom survived infancy.
Bubonic plague
In 1369, bubonic plague struck England for the third time, and among the dead was Blanche of Lancaster. She was living in Bolingbroke Castle, Lincolnshire at the time, while her husband was away. Her funeral at St. Paul's Cathedral in London was preceded with a magnificent cortege attended by most of the nobility and clergy. John of Gaunt held annual commemorations of her death for some years thereafter. For one of these commemorations, Geoffrey Chaucer, then a young squire and mostly unknown writer of court poetry, was commissioned to write what became The Book of the Duchess, in her honour. Though Chaucer's intentions can never be defined with absolute certainty, many believe that at least one of the aims of The Book of the Duchess was an attempt to make John of Gaunt see that his grief for his late wife had become excessive and to subtly prod him to try to overcome it.
In 1374, five years after her death, John of Gaunt ordered effigies made of himself and his wife. Twenty-five years later, Gaunt was laid to rest next to Blanche; the two are buried at an unknown location in St. Paul's Cathedral.

Blanche's daughter, Philippa, married John of Portugal and made Blanche the ancestor of kings of Portugal and this line leads to Isabella I of Castile, and through Isabella, Blanche is an ancestor of monarchs in many different countries. Her son, Henry, became King of England after he overthrew his cousin, Richard II of England, (Eldest son of John's brother Edward the Black prince). Henry's reign marked the beginning of a cadet branch of the Plantaganet line, making Blanche's family the House of Lancaster the new ruling house in England.

General Notes: Child - Henry IV King Of England Plantagenet
Henry IV
(possibly 3 April 1366[1][2] - 20 March 1413) was King of England and Lord of Ireland (1399-1413). He also asserted his grandfather's claim to the title King of France. He was born at Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire, hence the other name by which he was known, Henry (of) Bolingbroke (pronounced /'b?l??br?k/). His father, John of Gaunt, was the third son of Edward III, and enjoyed a position of considerable influence during much of the reign of Richard II. Henry's mother was Blanche, heiress to the considerable Lancaster estates.
Siblings
One of his elder sisters, Philippa, married John I of Portugal, and his younger sister Elizabeth was the mother of John Holland, 2nd Duke of Exeter. His younger half-sister Catherine, the daughter of his father's second wife, Constance of Castile, was queen consort of Castile. He also had four half-siblings by Katherine Swynford, his sisters' governess, his father's longstanding mistress and eventual third wife. These four children were surnamed Beaufort after a castle their father held in Champagne, France[3]
Henry's relationship with his stepmother, Katherine Swynford, was a positive one (she was governess to him and his sisters in youth). His relationship with the Beauforts varied considerably. In youth he seems to have been close to them all, but rivalries with Henry and Thomas Beaufort after 1406 proved problematic. His brother-in-law, Ralph Neville, remained one of his strongest supporters. So did his eldest half-brother, John Beaufort, even though Henry revoked Richard II's grant to John of a marquessate. Thomas Swynford, a son from Katherine's first marriage to Sir Hugh Swynford was another loyal companion and Constable of Pontefract Castle, where King Richard II is said to have died.
Eventually, a direct descendant of John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford through the Beaufort line would take the throne as Henry VII.
Relationship with Richard II
Henry experienced a rather more inconsistent relationship with King Richard II than his father had. First cousins and childhood playmates, they were admitted together to the Order of the Garter in 1377, but Henry participated in the Lords Appellant's rebellion against the King in 1387. After regaining power, Richard did not punish Henry (many of the other rebellious Barons were executed or exiled). In fact, Richard elevated Henry from Earl of Derby to Duke of Hereford.
Henry spent a full year of 1390 supporting the unsuccessful siege of Vilnius (capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania) by Teutonic Knights with his 300 fellow knights. During this campaign Henry Bolingbroke also bought captured Lithuanian princes and then apparently took them back to England. Henry's second expedition to Lithuania in 1392 illustrates the financial benefits to the Order of these guest crusaders. His small army consisted of over 100 men, including longbow archers and six minstrels, at a total cost to the Lancastrian purse of £4,360. Much of this sum benefited the local economy through the purchase of silverware and the hiring of boats and equipment. Despite the efforts of Henry and his English crusaders, two years of attacks on Vilnius proved fruitless. In 1392/93 Henry undertook a pilgrimage to Jerusalem where he made offerings at the Holy Sepulchre and Mount of Olives.[4] Later he was to vow to lead a crusade to free Jerusalem from the "infidel", but he died before this could be accomplished.[5]
However, the relationship between Henry Bolingbroke and the King encountered a second crisis. In 1398, a remark by Bolingbroke regarding Richard II's rule was interpreted as treason by Thomas de Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk. The two dukes agreed to undergo a duel of honor (called by Richard II) at Gosford Green near Coventry. Yet before the duel could take place, Richard II instead decided to banish Henry from the kingdom (with the approval of Henry's father, John of Gaunt) to avoid further bloodshed. Mowbray himself was exiled for life.
John of Gaunt died in 1399. Without explanation, Richard cancelled the legal documents that would have allowed Henry to inherit Gaunt's land automatically. Instead, Henry would be required to ask for the lands from Richard. After some hesitation, Henry met with the exiled Thomas Arundel, former Archbishop of Canterbury, who had lost his position because of his involvement with the Lords Appellant. Henry and Arundel returned to England while Richard was on a military campaign in Ireland. With Arundel as his advisor, Henry began a military campaign, confiscating land from those who opposed him and ordering his soldiers to destroy much of Cheshire. Henry quickly gained enough power and support to have himself declared King Henry IV, to imprison King Richard, who died in prison under mysterious circumstances, and to bypass Richard's seven-year-old heir-presumptive, Edmund de Mortimer. Henry's coronation, on 13 October 1399, is notable for being the first time following the Norman Conquest that the monarch made an address in English.
Henry consulted with Parliament frequently, but was sometimes at odds with the members, especially over ecclesiastical matters. On Arundel's advice, Henry passed the De heretico comburendo and was thus the first English king to allow the burning of heretics, mainly to suppress the Lollard movement.
Reign
The previous ruler
Henry's first problem was what to do with the deposed Richard. After an early assassination plot (The Epiphany Rising) was foiled in January 1400, he ordered his death (very probably by starvation). The evidence for this lies in the circulation of letters in France demonstrating prior knowledge of the death.[6] Richard died on 14 February 1400, after which his body was put on public display in the old St Paul's Cathedral to prove to his supporters that he was dead. He was 33 years old.
Rebellions
Henry spent much of his reign defending himself against plots, rebellions and assassination attempts.
Rebellions continued throughout the first ten years of Henry's reign, including the revolt of Owain Glyndwr, who declared himself Prince of Wales in 1400, and the rebellion of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland. The king's success in putting down these rebellions was due partly to the military ability of his eldest son, Henry of Monmouth, who would later become king (though the son managed to seize much effective power from his father in 1410).
In the last year of Henry's reign, the rebellions picked up speed. "The old fable of a living Richard was revived", notes one account, "and emissaries from Scotland traversed the villages of England, in the last year of Henry's reign, declaring that Richard was residing at the Scottish Court, awaiting only a signal from his friends to repair to London and recover his throne."
A suitable-looking impostor was found and King Richard's old groom circulated word in the city that his master was alive in Scotland. "Southwark was incited to insurrection" by Sir Elias Lyvet (Levett) and his associate Thomas Clark, who promised Scottish aid to carry out the insurrection. Ultimately, the rebellion came to naught. The knight Lyvet was released; his follower thrown into the Tower.[7]
Foreign relations
Early in his reign, Henry hosted the visit of Manuel II Palaiologos, the only Byzantine emperor ever to visit England, from December 1400 to January 1401 at Eltham Palace, with a joust being given in his honour. He also sent monetary support with him upon his departure, to aid him against the Ottoman Empire.
In 1406, English pirates captured the future James I of Scotland off the coast of Flamborough Head as he was going to France.[8] James remained a prisoner of Henry for the rest of Henry's reign.
Final illness and death
The later years of Henry's reign were marked by serious health problems. He had a disfiguring skin disease, and more seriously, suffered acute attacks of some grave illness in June 1405, April 1406, June 1408, during the winter of 1408-09, December 1412, and then finally a fatal bout in March 1413. Medical historians have long debated the nature of this affliction or afflictions. The skin disease might have been leprosy (which did not necessarily mean precisely the same thing in the 15th century as it does to modern medicine), perhaps psoriasis, or some other disease. The acute attacks have been given a wide range of explanations, from epilepsy to some form of cardiovascular disease.[9] Some medieval writers felt that he was struck with leprosy as a punishment for his treatment of Richard le Scrope, Archbishop of York, who was executed in June 1405 on Henry's orders after a failed coup.[10]
According to Holinshed, it was predicted that Henry would die in Jerusalem; Shakespeare's play repeats this. Henry took this to mean that he would die on crusade. In reality, he died at the house of the Abbot of Westminster, in the Jerusalem chamber. His executor, Thomas Langley, was at his side.
Burial
Unusually for a King of England, he was buried not at Westminster Abbey but at Canterbury Cathedral, on the north side of what is now the Trinity Chapel, as near to the shrine of Thomas Becket as possible. (No other kings are buried in the Cathedral, although his uncle Edward, the Black Prince, is buried on the opposite, south side of the chapel, also as near the shrine as possible.) At the time, Becket's cult was at its height, as evidenced in the Canterbury Tales written by the court poet Geoffrey Chaucer, and Henry was particularly devoted to it. (He was anointed at his coronation with oil supposedly given to Becket by the Virgin Mary and that had then passed to Henry's father).[11]
Henry was given an alabaster effigy, alabaster being a valuable English export in the 15th century. His body was well-embalmed, as an exhumation in 1832 established.[12]
Titles, styles, honours and arms
Titles
· Henry Bolingbroke
· Earl of Derby (by courtesy until his father's death)
· Earl of Northampton - restored 1384 to his father-in-law's Earldom
· Duke of Hereford - after the punishment of the Lords Appellant
· 2nd Duke of Lancaster - Upon his father's death
· King of England, Henry IV by deposition of his cousin Richard II
Arms
Before his father's death in 1399, Henry bore the arms of the kingdom, differenced by a label of five points ermine. After his father's death, the differenced changed to a label of five points per pale ermine and France.[13] Upon his accession as king, Henry updated the arms of the kingdom to match an update in those of royal France - from a field of fleur-de-lys to just three.
Seniority in line from Edward III
When Richard II resigned the throne in 1399, there was no question of who was highest in the order of succession. The country had rallied behind Henry and supported his claim in parliament. However, the question of the succession never went away. The problem lay in the fact that Henry was only the most prominent male heir, the most senior in terms of agnatic descent from Edward III. This made him heir to the throne according to Edward III's entail to the crown of 1376[14] but, as Dr. Ian Mortimer has recently pointed out in his biography of Henry IV, this had probably been supplanted by an entail of Richard II made in 1399 (see Ian Mortimer, The Fears of Henry IV, appendix two, pp. 366-9). Henry thus had to remove Richard II's settlement of the throne on their uncle York (Edmund of Langley) and Langley's Yorkist descendants and overcome the superior claim of the Mortimers in order to maintain his inheritance. This fact would later come back to haunt his grandson, Henry VI of England, who was deposed by Edward IV, son of Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, during the Wars of the Roses.
The following are the senior descendants of Edward III. The descendants that were alive at the death of Richard II are in bold.
· Edward III of England (1312-1377)
· Edward, the Black Prince (1330-1376)
· Edward (1365-1372)
· Richard II of England (1367-1400)
· Lionel of Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence (1338-1368)
· Philippa Plantagenet, 5th Countess of Ulster (1355-1382)
· Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March (1374-1398)
· Edmund Mortimer, 5th Earl of March (1391-1425)
· Roger Mortimer (died young c. 1411)
· Anne de Mortimer (1390-1411)
· Eleanor (d. 1418)
· Edmund Mortimer (1376-1409?)
· Lady Elizabeth de Mortimer (1370/1371-1417)
· Lady Philippa de Mortimer (1375-1401)
· John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster (1340-1399)
· Henry IV of England (1367-1413)
· Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York
· Edward, Duke of Aumerle, later declined to Earl of Rutland
· Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester
Marriage and issue
In 1381 at Rochford Hall, Essex, Henry married Mary de Bohun and had six children by her:
· Henry V of England
· Thomas, Duke of Clarence
· John, Duke of Bedford
· Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester
· Blanche of England (1392-1409) married in 1402 Louis III, Elector Palatine
· Philippa of England (1394-1430) married in 1406 Eric of Pomerania, king of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Mary died in 1394, and on 7 February 1403 Henry married Joanna of Navarre, the daughter of Charles d'Évreux, King of Navarre, at Winchester. She was the widow of John V of Brittany, with whom she had four daughters and four sons, but she and Henry had no children. The fact that in 1399 Henry had four sons from his first marriage was undoubtedly a clinching factor in his acceptability for the throne. By contrast, Richard II had no children, and Richard's heir-presumptive Edmund Mortimer was only seven years old. Henry's six children produced only one child that survived to adulthood, and the line of Henry IV expired in 1471 with the deaths of grandson Henry VI and his son Edward, Prince of Wales.
Henry IV
(possibly 3 April 1366[1][2] - 20 March 1413) was King of England and Lord of Ireland (1399-1413). He also asserted his grandfather's claim to the title King of France. He was born at Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire, hence the other name by which he was known, Henry (of) Bolingbroke (pronounced /'b?l??br?k/). His father, John of Gaunt, was the third son of Edward III, and enjoyed a position of considerable influence during much of the reign of Richard II. Henry's mother was Blanche, heiress to the considerable Lancaster estates.
Siblings
One of his elder sisters, Philippa, married John I of Portugal, and his younger sister Elizabeth was the mother of John Holland, 2nd Duke of Exeter. His younger half-sister Catherine, the daughter of his father's second wife, Constance of Castile, was queen consort of Castile. He also had four half-siblings by Katherine Swynford, his sisters' governess, his father's longstanding mistress and eventual third wife. These four children were surnamed Beaufort after a castle their father held in Champagne, France[3]
Henry's relationship with his stepmother, Katherine Swynford, was a positive one (she was governess to him and his sisters in youth). His relationship with the Beauforts varied considerably. In youth he seems to have been close to them all, but rivalries with Henry and Thomas Beaufort after 1406 proved problematic. His brother-in-law, Ralph Neville, remained one of his strongest supporters. So did his eldest half-brother, John Beaufort, even though Henry revoked Richard II's grant to John of a marquessate. Thomas Swynford, a son from Katherine's first marriage to Sir Hugh Swynford was another loyal companion and Constable of Pontefract Castle, where King Richard II is said to have died.
Eventually, a direct descendant of John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford through the Beaufort line would take the throne as Henry VII.
Relationship with Richard II
Henry experienced a rather more inconsistent relationship with King Richard II than his father had. First cousins and childhood playmates, they were admitted together to the Order of the Garter in 1377, but Henry participated in the Lords Appellant's rebellion against the King in 1387. After regaining power, Richard did not punish Henry (many of the other rebellious Barons were executed or exiled). In fact, Richard elevated Henry from Earl of Derby to Duke of Hereford.
Henry spent a full year of 1390 supporting the unsuccessful siege of Vilnius (capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania) by Teutonic Knights with his 300 fellow knights. During this campaign Henry Bolingbroke also bought captured Lithuanian princes and then apparently took them back to England. Henry's second expedition to Lithuania in 1392 illustrates the financial benefits to the Order of these guest crusaders. His small army consisted of over 100 men, including longbow archers and six minstrels, at a total cost to the Lancastrian purse of £4,360. Much of this sum benefited the local economy through the purchase of silverware and the hiring of boats and equipment. Despite the efforts of Henry and his English crusaders, two years of attacks on Vilnius proved fruitless. In 1392/93 Henry undertook a pilgrimage to Jerusalem where he made offerings at the Holy Sepulchre and Mount of Olives.[4] Later he was to vow to lead a crusade to free Jerusalem from the "infidel", but he died before this could be accomplished.[5]
However, the relationship between Henry Bolingbroke and the King encountered a second crisis. In 1398, a remark by Bolingbroke regarding Richard II's rule was interpreted as treason by Thomas de Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk. The two dukes agreed to undergo a duel of honor (called by Richard II) at Gosford Green near Coventry. Yet before the duel could take place, Richard II instead decided to banish Henry from the kingdom (with the approval of Henry's father, John of Gaunt) to avoid further bloodshed. Mowbray himself was exiled for life.
John of Gaunt died in 1399. Without explanation, Richard cancelled the legal documents that would have allowed Henry to inherit Gaunt's land automatically. Instead, Henry would be required to ask for the lands from Richard. After some hesitation, Henry met with the exiled Thomas Arundel, former Archbishop of Canterbury, who had lost his position because of his involvement with the Lords Appellant. Henry and Arundel returned to England while Richard was on a military campaign in Ireland. With Arundel as his advisor, Henry began a military campaign, confiscating land from those who opposed him and ordering his soldiers to destroy much of Cheshire.

The later years of Henry's reign were marked by serious health problems. He had a disfiguring skin disease, and more seriously, suffered acute attacks of some grave illness in June 1405, April 1406, June 1408, during the winter of 1408-09, December 1412, and then finally a fatal bout in March 1413.

The skin disease might have been leprosy (which did not necessarily mean precisely the same thing in the 15th century as it does to modern medicine), perhaps psoriasis, or some other disease. The acute attacks have been given a wide range of explanations, from epilepsy to some form of cardiovascular disease.[9] Some medieval writers felt that he was struck with leprosy as a punishment for his treatment of Richard le Scrope, Archbishop of York, who was executed in June 1405 on Henry's orders after a failed coup.[10]

· Henry V of England
· Thomas, Duke of Clarence
· John, Duke of Bedford
· Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester
· Blanche of England (1392-1409) married in 1402 Louis III, Elector Palatine
· Philippa of England (1394-1430) married in 1406 Eric of Pomerania, king of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Mary died in 1394, and on 7 February 1403 Henry married Joanna of Navarre, the daughter of Charles d'Évreux, King of Navarre, at Winchester. She was the widow of John V of Brittany, with whom she had four daughters and four sons, but she and Henry had no children. The fact that in 1399 Henry had four sons from his first marriage was undoubtedly a clinching factor in his acceptability for the throne. By contrast, Richard II had no children, and Richard's heir-presumptive Edmund Mortimer was only seven years old. Henry's six children produced only one child that survived to adulthood, and the line of Henry IV expired in 1471 with the deaths of grandson Henry VI and his son Edward, Prince of Wales.
General Notes: Child - Elizabeth Plantagenet Princess Of England
Elizabeth of Lancaster (bf. 21 February 1363[1] - 24 November 1426) was the third child of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster and his first wife Blanche of Lancaster.
Life
Some sources list her as having been born after 1 January 1363 but prior to 21 February 1363. She was born in Burford Shropshire. In her childhood she was raised in her father's royal household under Katherine Swynford whom she held in high regard. She grew up a headstrong and spirited young woman compared to her more serious elder sister.
First Marriage
On 24 June 1380, at Kenilworth Castle, she married John Hastings, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, she was seventeen years old and the groom was only eight. She was transferred to another household befitting her new rank as Countess of Pembroke. However, six years later the marriage between Elizabeth and young Hastings was annulled.
Second Marriage
By then aged 23, Elizabeth had tired of her 14-year-old husband. It is said that she had also been seduced by her cousin Richard II of England's half-brother John Holland a known schemer, and had become pregnant by him.[3] This forced her father to have her marriage annulled, and on 24 June 1386, at Plymouth, she hastily married John Holland, 1st Duke of Exeter. Fortunately her father dealt with her leniently and favoured his new son-in-law, such was Holland’s charm.
Third Marriage
Holland was executed in 1400 for conspiring during the Epiphany Rising against his cousin, Elizabeth's brother Henry IV of England, who had by this time usurped the throne from Richard. That same year, Elizabeth married Sir John Cornwall, 1st Baron Fanhope and Milbroke. Her marriage to Sir John caused some scandal as Sir John failed to ask her brother for permission to marry Elizabeth, which resulted in Sir John being arrested. However the marriage is said to have been a happy and loving one and they went on to have two children.
She died in 1426 and was buried at Burford Church, Burford, Shropshire.
Children
With John Holland she had five children:
1.Constance Holland (1387-1437) who married Thomas Mowbray, 4th Earl of Norfolk and Sir John Grey and had issue.
2.Richard Holland (c. 1389 - 3 September 1400); had no issue.
3.Alice Holland (c. 1392 - c. 1406) who married Richard de Vere, 11th Earl of Oxford; had no issue.
4.John Holland, 2nd Duke of Exeter (1395-1447); had issue.
5.Sir Edward Holland (1399-1413); had no issue.
With John Cornwall, 1st Baron Fanhope and Milbroke she had two children:
1.Constance Cornwall (c. 1401 - c. 1427) who married John Fitzalan, 14th Earl of Arundel, but had no issue.
2.Sir John Cornwall (c. 1404 - 2 May 1422) John Cornwall was only seventeen when he was killed at the Siege of Meaux. He died next to his father, who had seen his son's head being blown off by a gun-stone. He had no issue.

General Notes: Child - Philippe Philippe Of Lancaster Queen Of Portugal Plantagenet
Philippa of Lancaster
(31 March 1359 - 19 July 1415) was Queen consort of Portugal. Her marriage with King John I secured the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance, and also produced several famous princes and princesses of Portugal who became known as the 'Illustrious Generation'. She was the eldest daughter of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster, and Blanche of Lancaster, and sister of king Henry IV of England.
Early life and education
As the eldest child of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster, and Blanche of Lancaster, Philippa spent most of her childhood in the many palaces and castles of her father, such as the Savoy Palace in London.[1] Here, she was raised and educated alongside her two younger siblings, Elizabeth, who was three years younger, and Henry, six years younger, who would later become king.
Philippa's mother died from the plague in 1369. Her father, the Duke remarried in 1371 to Infanta Constance of Castile, daughter of King Peter of Castile, and later married his former mistress, Katherine Swynford, who had been Philippa's governess. The affair and eventual marriage was considered scandalous, and in the future Philippa would protect herself against such embarrassment.[2]
Katherine seems to have been well liked by Philippa and her Lancastrian siblings, and had an important role in Philippa's education. Katherine had close ties with Geoffrey Chaucer (her sister, Philippa Roet, was Chaucer's wife). John of Gaunt became Chaucer's patron, and Chaucer spent much time with the family as one of Philippa's many mentors and teachers. She was remarkably well educated for a female at the time, and studied science under Friar John, poetry under Jean Froissart, and philosophy and theology under John Wycliffe.[1] She was well read in Greek and Roman scholars such as Pliny and Herodotus, and was diligent in her study of religion.[1]
Marriage
Philippa became Queen consort of Portugal through her marriage with King John I. This marriage was the final step in the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance, against the France-Castile axis.
The couple received the blessing of the church in the Cathedral of Oporto on 2 February 1387. Their married life would officially begin on 14 February 1387. The Portuguese court celebrated the union for fifteen days.[3] Philippa married King John I by proxy, and in keeping with a unique Portuguese tradition, the stand-in bridegroom pretended to bed the bride. The stand-in for King John I was João Rodrigues de Sá.[4]
The marriage itself, as was usually the case for the nobility in the Middle Ages, had more to do with political alliances than with physical attraction, and in fact the couple never met until twelve days after they were legally married. In point of fact, Philippa was considered to be rather plain, and in any case King João I (John I) already had a mistress, Inês Peres Esteves, by whom he had three children.[5] [6] In marrying Philippa, King John I established a political and personal alliance with John of Gaunt, initially because it was rumored that John of Gaunt would claim the Kingdom of Castile through his younger daughter by Constance of Castile, Catherine of Lancaster.[7] As the "de facto King of Castile," it was feared that John of Gaunt could challenge King John's claim to the newly-formed Kingdom of Portugal. [3] [Instead, at Windsor in 1386, John I of Portugal signed the remarkably long-lasting Portuguese-British Alliance, which continued through the Napoleonic Wars and ensured Portugal's tenuous neutrality in World War II, almost 600 years later!][8] <Birminham, David. A Concise History of Portugal, 2nd Ed., Cambridge University Press,Cambridge, UK, 1993</ref> Philippa, at age 27, was thought to be old for to be first-time bride. The court questioned her ability to bear the King children. Their fears were quickly assuaged, as Philippa bore nine children, six of whom survived into adulthood.
The King had three other children by his long-time mistress, Inês Peres Esteves; their son, Afonso, was ten when Philippa and John married. Philippa allowed Alfonso and his sister, Beatrice, to be raised in the Portuguese court. Their mother left the court at Philippa's command to live in a convent, and under Philippa's patronage, became the Prioress.[9]
Influence in the Court
The wedding of Philippa and John
Though Philippa was seen in her time as the perfect symbol of queenly piety[10], and made public comments saying that "it would be regarded as an indecent thing for a wife to interfere in her husband's affairs"[10], she actually wielded quite a bit of influence in both the Portuguese and English courts and was "actively involved in world affairs".[10]
Surviving letters show that Philippa often wrote to the English court from Portugal, and stayed involved in English politics in this way. On one instance, Philippa intervened in court politics on the "behalf of followers of the dethroned Richard II when they appealed for her help after her brother, Henry IV, had usurped the English throne".[10] On another occasion, she persuaded the reluctant Earl of Arundel to marry her husband's illegitimate daughter Beatrice[10], further cementing the alliance between Portugal and England.
Philippa's main political contribution, however, was in her own court. Upon the end of the Portuguese involvement in several wars with Castile and the Moors, the Portuguese economy was in ruins, and many men who had found employment in the war were suddenly unemployed. Philippa knew that the conquest and control of Ceuta would be quite lucrative for Portugal: it would mean the control of the African and Indian spice trade. Though Philippa died before her plan was realized, Portugal did send an expedition to Ceuta and conquered the city on 14 August 1415 in the Battle of Ceuta.[1]
Children
Philippa is remembered for being a generous and loving queen, and for being the mother of the "Illustrious Generation" (in Portuguese, Ínclita Geração) of princes, whose members were:
· Blanche (1388-1389);
· Afonso (1390-1400);
· Edward (Duarte)(1391-1438). He was a writer and an intellectual, who succeeded his father as King of Portugal in 1433;
· Peter (1392-1449). He was the First Duke of Coimbra, a well-travelled man who served as Regent during the minority of his nephew Afonso V;
· Henry the Navigator (1394-1460), first Duke of Viseu, who guided Portugal to the Great era of The Discoveries;
· Isabella (1397-1472), who married Philip III of Burgundy and was one of the most powerful and admired women in Europe;
· Blanche (1398), died in childhood;
· John (1400-1442), Constable of Portugal, Lord of Reguengos, the grandfather of two 16th century Iberian monarchs, Manuel I of Portugal and Isabella I of Castile;
· Ferdinand (1402-1443) "the Saint Prince," a warrior, who was captured during the Disaster of Tangier and died a prisoner of the Moors.
Death
At the age of 53, and like her mother, Philippa fell mortally ill with the plague. She moved from Lisbon to Sacavém and called her sons to her bedside so that she could give them her blessing.[11] Philippa presented her three eldest sons with jewel encrusted swords, which they would use in their impending knighthoods, and gave each a portion of the True Cross, "enjoining them to preserve their faith and to fulfill the duties of their rank".[12]
Though he had been reluctant to marry her, the King had grown quite fond of his wife, and it is said that he was "so grieved by [her] mortal illness… that he could neither eat nor sleep".[12]
In her final hours, Philippa was said to be lucid and without pain. A story tells that she was roused by a wind which blew strongly against the house, and asked what wind it was. She was delighted to hear that it was the north wind, and thought that this would be quite beneficial for her son's and husband's voyage to Africa, which she had coordinated.[13] Philippa's end was as pious, harmonious, and peaceful as her life: she prayed with several priests and, "without any toil or suffering, gave her soul into the hands of Him who created her, a smile appearing on her mouth as though she disdained the life of this world".[12]
Legacy
Philippa and King John's union was praised for establishing purity and virtue in a court that was regarded as particularly corrupt.[14] Philippa is remembered as the mother of "The Illustrious Generation" (Portuguese: Ínclita Geração). Her surviving children went on to make historically significant contributions in their own right. Duarte of Portugal, became the eleventh King of Portugal, and was known as, "The Philosopher," or the "Eloquent." Henrique, or Henry the Navigator, sponsored expeditions to Africa.
Philippa's influence was documented in literary works. The medieval French poet, Eustache Deschamps, dedicated one of his ballads to "Phelippe en Lancastre," as a partisan of the Order of the Flower.[15] It has also been speculated that Geoffrey Chaucer may have alluded to Philippa in his poem, "The Legend of Good Women," through the character, Alceste.[16]
