This article appears in Volume V26, Page 275 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SWYNFORD, CATHERINE (c. 1350-.14.03) , wife of John of Gaunt, duke of
Lancaster
 , was a daughter of Sir Payne Roelt, a knight who came to England from Hainault in the
train
  of Edward III.'s queen, Philippa. About 1367 she married Sir Hugh Swynford (1340-1372), a Lincolnshire man, by whom she had a son, Thomas (c. 1368-1433), who was a friend and companion of
Henry
  IV. both before and after he came to the English throne. Soon after her husband's death in 1372 Catherine became the mistress of John of Gaunt, and in 1396, nearly two years after the duke had become a widower for the second time, she was married to him at Lincoln. She died at Lincoln on the loth of May 1403. By John of Gaunt Catherine had four children, all of whom were born before their
marriage
 . They were declared legitimate in 1397 and took the name of Beaufort from one of their father's castles in Anjou (see BEAUFORT).
