On This Day In Royal History .. 7 August 1385 . . Joan of Kent, Princess of Wales died (b. 1326/27) . ◼ Joan, 4th Countess of Kent, 5th Baroness Wake of Liddell, known to history as The Fair Maid of Kent, was the first post-conquest Princess of Wales as wife to Edward, the Black Prince, son & heir 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 assumed the title of 4th Countess of Kent and 5th Baroness Wake of Liddell after the death of her brother, John, in 1352. . ◼ Joan was the daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent, & Margaret Wake, 3rd Baroness Wake of Liddell. Her father Edmund was the son of King Edward I & his second wife, Margaret of France, daughter of Philip III of France. . ▪️Prior to marrying the Black Prince, Joan had been married twice, to Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent in 1340 when aged around 12, Thomas was 26. The marriage lasted 20 years until Thomas’ death. They had five children. . Then In the early 1340’s, William Montagu, Earl of Salisbury was married to Joan of Kent. Both Salisbury & his bride were of exactly the same age, & both were in their early teens. Lord Salisbury entered into the marriage in good faith, without knowing that Joan had already, at the age of twelve, secretly married Thomas Holland, just before the latter left England on crusade. Upon returning to England in 1348, Holland declared that Joan was his wife & demanded that she be restored to him. The marriage was eventually annulled by the Pope in 1349. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1328 #JoanofKent #PrincessofWales #CountessofKent #Baroness #History #Royalty #RoyalFamily #RoyalHistory #royals #EdwardtheBlackPrince #HouseofPlantagenet #wallingfordcastle #Castle #plantagenets #Monarchy #EnglishMonarchy #Royalty #BritishMonarchy #D29Sep #OnThisDay #Medieval #MedievalHistory #medievalart #medievalworld #Otd (at Wallingford Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmJGdRDxiQ/?igshid=nw4kjvydqse5
