Focusing on the life of John of Gaunt, this study explores the complexities of his political influence during a tumultuous period in England, including the Peasants' Revolt and the Hundred Years War. As a wealthy and powerful figure, Gaunt's actions and reputation made him both influential and despised. The book offers a fresh perspective on his role and the broader political dynamics of the era, making it a significant contribution to historical scholarship since the last major study over a century ago.
