In 1360, Jeanette of Kent is widowed when Thomas Holland dies overseas, leaving her responsible for their children and estates. Her longtime friend Edward, the Black Prince, offers marriage, raising her from countess to Princess of Wales and placing her at the centre of England’s ruling dynasty.
Life in the prince’s continental court brings affection and influence, but also war, financial pressure and worsening illness. As Jeanette becomes mother to the future Richard II, she must protect two families and negotiate a succession in which proximity to the crown offers power without security.
