Barred from England during Richard’s absence on the Third Crusade, John nevertheless interfered in the politics of the realm. It was during his brother Richard the Lionheart’s reign that John’s behaviour became actively perfidious, however. Upon his arrival, he provoked the locals by needlessly mocking them and – according to one chronicler – tugging their beards. John’s poor behaviour was evident when he was sent to Ireland to enforce English royal prerogatives. Henry’s attempt to carve out something for John to govern in central France was the cause of armed warfare between father and sons. He was known in his youth as Jean sans Terre (or “John Lackland”) on account of his want of a landed inheritance. The youngest son of Henry II, he caused plenty of trouble before going anywhere near his father’s crown. When we examine the bare bones of John’s biography, this is hardly a surprise. Helen takes us through the incredible life of this diplomat, brother and son. Matt is joined in this episode by Helen Carr, a historian, TV producer and author of the biography of John of Gaunt 'The Red Prince'. Later, as one of the richest men in the country, he would uphold chivalric values, support early religious reform and champion a renaissance of art and literature in England. John was a brave leader, first setting foot on the battlefield at the age of 10. Born in 1340 as the younger brother of the Black Prince, John of Gaunt's life is captivating.

Whether splashing color on walls is a universal desire of children or not, Peter Spier captures inadvertent paint-laden mischief in Oh! Were They Ever Happy!, a tale about the Noonan children, who find themselves home alone one morning, as their parents run errands and the babysitter fails to show. The Noonan children take it upon themselves to help paint the house.Īs a kid, I begged my mom to paint my room neon, or at least purple, bright blue, or possibly-deep magenta?
