Hello list,
My brother has asked if I can recommend a good book about John of Gaunt, he's out of my area and I'm not on any medieval history lists but perhaps there is someone here on DM who can help. He said he's been reading something by Norman Cantor (who writes a lot of popular medieval history) but he's finding it less than adequate. He reads massive amounts about history so I'd be quite comfortable recommending him something directed at a scholarly (as opposed to a popular) audience. He just wants to learn about John of Gaunt.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Dot
Dear Dot,
The best recent study of John is Anthony Goodman's 1992 book:
John of Gaunt: The Exercise of Princely Power in Fourteenth-Century Europe (Harlow: Longman, 1992)

Many thanks to Godfried, and to others who contacted me with citations off-list. I think we have him covered! You all are a font of knowledge :-)
