　　Acclaimed author Alison Weir brings to life the extraordinary

tale of Katherine Swynford, a royal mistress who became one of the

most crucial figures in the history of Great Britain. Born in the

mid-fourteenth century, Katherine de Ro?t was only twelve when she

married Hugh Swynford, an impoverished knight. But her story had

truly begun two years earlier, when she was appointed governess to

the household of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and fourth son of

King Edward III. Widowed at twenty-one, Katherine became John's

mistress and then, after many twists of fortune, his bride in a

scandalous marriage. Mistress of the Monarchy reveals a woman ahead

of her time—making her own choices, flouting convention, and taking

control of her own destiny. Indeed, without Katherine Swynford, the

course of English history, perhaps even the world, would have been

very different.
