 Swynford Navigation
We know Katheryn Roet,, the youngest daughter, eventually became associated with the retinue of Blanche of Lancaster, as she is described as Blanche Swynford, damoiselles a les dites deux filles de Lancastre in a 1369 warderobe account providing mourning clothes for the funeral services for Queen Philippa who died in that year (31:172-3).
While this account erroneously names her "Blanche" Swynford rather than Katheryn Swynford, it indicates that by 1369 Katheryn was employed by the Lancasters.
Thus, while the date of Katheryn's entry into the Lancastrian household has not been determined conclusively, it is, however, likely that she took her place caring for the children of Blanche and John of Gaunt as soon as 1) there were children to care for; and 2) she was of sufficient age.
