Notes for Joan The Fair Maid of Kent Plantagenet Countess of Kent
Joan, Countess of Kent (29 September 1326/1327 – 7 August 1385), known as
The Fair Maid of Kent, was the mother of King
Richard II of England, her son by her third husband, Edward the Black Prince, son and heir apparent of King Edward III. Although the French chronicler Jean Froissart called her "the most beautiful woman in all the realm of England, and the most loving", the appellation "Fair Maid of Kent" does not appear to be contemporary. Joan inherited the titles 4th Countess of Kent and 5th Baroness Wake of Liddell after the death of her brother John, 3rd Earl of Kent, in 1352. Joan was made a Lady of the Garter in 1378.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Kent
