  Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester (January 7, 1355 – September 8 (or 9), 1397) was the thirteenth and youngest child of King Edward III of England and Queen Philippa.
He was the fifth of the five sons of Edward III who survived to adulthood, and like his brothers, he and his descendants were active participants in the struggle for the English Crown known as the Wars of the Roses.
Woodstock's wife's younger sister, Mary de Bohun, was subsequently married to Henry "Bolingbroke," who eventually became Henry IV of England.

 Beyond The Storm - Extra Notes
The less romantic but much more interesting truth is that Eleanor had no time for killing off her husband's mistress: she was far too busy running a court in her native Aquitaine that became the center of the Renaissance of the twelfth century.
Eleanor began her vivid court in Poitiers in 1167, the year after Henry met Rosamond Clifford.
There is little question that Eleanor was miffed at the affair, although she was used to Henry's philandering, he had never before taken someone on as a "kept woman", and furthermore, he installed her in luxury at the royal palace of Woodstock, which Eleanor herself had recently redecorated for her own lying in.

 History of the Monarchy > The Plantagenets > Edward I
Edward's parents were renowned for their patronage of the arts (his mother, Eleanor of Provence, encouraged Henry III to spend money on the arts, which included the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey and a still-extant magnificent shrine to house the body of Edward the Confessor).
In 1290, his granddaughter and heiress, Margaret the 'Maid of Norway' (daughter of the King of Norway, she was pledged to be married to Edward's then only surviving son, Edward of Caernarvon), also died.
For Edward, this dynastic blow was made worse by the death in the same year of his much-loved wife Eleanor (her body was ceremonially carried from Lincoln to Westminster for burial, and a memorial cross erected at every one of the twelve resting places, including what became known as Charing Cross in London).
