| | Britannia Biographies: Henry Plantagenet of Grosmont, Duke of Lancaster |
 | | Previous to his departure for Prussia, William of Bavaria, called the Duke of Zealand and Holland, came into England, and was married to Maud, Duke's eldest daughter, with great pomp, in the presence of the King and Queen, in the Royal Chapel at the Palace of Westminster. |
 | | The second and only surviving daughter and heir of the Duke was, therefore, Blanche (aged 14 at the death of her father) who became the consort of Prince John of Gaunt, Earl of Richmond (afterwards Duke of Lancaster). |
 | | The Duke made his will in his castle at Leicester on 15th March 1361; and, dying of the pestilence on 24th of the same month, was interred in the Collegiate Church in Newark (Notts), on the north side of the high altar, in pursuance of the directions of his will. |
