Why do you call her Duchess Katherine de Roet? She was Miss Katherine (de)
Roet, then became Mrs. Swynford and then Duchess of Lancaster. I still
remember from many years ago this book _Katheriine_ by Anya Seton, this book
with several of Margaret Campbell Barnes sparked off my interest in medieval
English history.
