Description
Of all the Plantagenet women, Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent, was the most beautiful. Overshadowed by her brilliant husband and by her wayward and ill-fated son, Joan might have been remembered only as the Black Prince's wife, Richard II's widowed mother. But her passionate love story was lived against such events as the victories of Crecy and Poitiers, at the brilliant court of Edward III, and among his proud and ambitious sons and daughters.
