Medieval history from a rising star in the field, this is a biography of one of the most important figures of the age, John of Gaunt.

John Gaunt was the son of Edward III, brother to the Black Prince, father to Henry IV, and the sire of all those Tudors. He has had pretty bad press: supposed usurper of Richard II’s crown and the focus of hatred in the Peasants’ Revolt, as they torched his home, the Savoy Palace.

Helen Carr paints a complex portrait of a man who held the levers of power on the English and European stage, passionately upheld chivalric values, pressed for the Bible to be translated into English, patronized the arts - and, if you follow Shakespeare, gave the most beautiful oration on England: “this sceptred isle...this blessed plot.”

The Red Prince is an engrossing drama of political machinations, violence, romance, plague, revolt, and tragedy played out at the cusp of a new era.

First, I normally HATE authors who narrate their own works unless it’s a very interesting and honest autobiography. (And even then you’d better be as good as Trevor Noah!) I’m especially hard on narrators who think they can pull off masterful performances comparable to pro narrators Simon Vance, Nadia May, Dion Graham, Wanda McCaddon, John Lee, or Simon Prebble. But Helen Carr not only delivers an in-depth historical account about Plantagenet prince John Gaunt, she narrates her well-researched book to perfection. I’m not going into a long discourse here. But if you like well read books about the history of Britain, you can’t go wrong here. ENJOY! 👍🏽

A REALLY GREAT READ!

The general history of this period in English history was familiar to me. I also am appreciative of the related dramatic works of Shakespeare. This book, however, gives great insight into the actual lifeof John of Gaunt and his family.

I have not read much about John Gault and nothing by Helen Carr. I was pleased to make the acquaintance of both. I loved the historical insight and detail and the discovery of a new hustorical source.

His family and descendants make for very Entertaining and Inciteful reading to a Yank. That happens to be an Anglo/Scotophile!
The Narration is Delightful and makes the History flow!

I thought I knew a lot about this era, but this book told me that I didn’t.
Additionally, if I ever write a book, I’m going to ask Helen Carr to read the audiobook, and I will have to find a way to squeeze Eustace d'Auberchicourt into my narrative just to hear her say the name again.

Excellent and entertaining work

I got this book from the Amazon free catalog. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I loved the narration. This book actually peaked my interest in the history of Medieval English kings. I especially love the history of the Plantagent kings. Thank you Helen Car, for starting me on a journey of learning a subject I didn’t realize I would grow to love !!!

I thought it was a great book

if, like me, you are confused by Shakespeare's history plays, read this first! I hope I will still remember who was who a year from now!

Clear guide to complex period

Perfectly clear voice. A relaxing pleasure to listen to and I will look for other works.

Author is also a great narrator

This is an historical reference about John of Gaunt and is meticulous. I have never read much about the subject but for anyone interested in English history I would consider this a good read. John of Gaunt is the figurative father for the War of the roses and the Tudor house. Highly recommend this book.

Excellent historical reference
