Philippa took pains to make certain that her rival was treated with every respect and given a dignified establishment with an ample allowance.

 John of Gaunt
Lancaster was a tall, spare, but well built man who was somewhat conservative in his politics, somewhat radical in his religion (as shown by his support of the all-but heretic, John Wycliff.)
Lancaster had many residences and estates, but his principal residences include the Savoy Palace in London, and the lands and castle of Kenilwoth in Warwickshire.
Lancaster particularly loved Kenilworth, transforming what was once a cold and heartless fortress into a welcoming and warm home (that remains, nevertheless, impregnable).
