* MARRIAGE: ABT 1346, Of,Donyatt,Somersetshire,England
oan of Kent, daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, the fourth Earl of Kent, is the wife of the Black Prince. She is a popular woman, known since her girlhood as the Fair Maid of Kent. In her youth Joan was fabulously beautiful and charming although she has now run somewhat to fat: a comtemporary chronicler has remarked that Joan was "devoted to pleasure, and so fat from eating she could scarcely walk".
Although currently happily married to the Black Prince, Joan has had a somewhat chequered marital career. When she was twelve she secretly married a man called Sir Thomas Holland with whom she eventually had six children. However, when Joan's guardian Katherine Montague discovered her clandestine marriage, she married the girl to William Montague (claiming her marriage to Holland was illegal). Nevertheless, Holland was not to be denied his beautiful bride, and managed to successfully petition the pope to annul the marriage between Joan and Montague and ratify his own marriage to Joan. When Holland died, Joan waited only three months before secretly marrying Edward the Black Prince. Edward III was appalled at the marriage, but did nothing to break it up: the Black Prince is deeply in love with Joan, and she is his greatest confidante.
Joan and Sir Thomas Holland had six children, the eldest of whom is John Holland, Earl of Huntingdon and Duke of Exeter.
Joan and the Black Prince have had two sons, Edward and Richard, but Edward died as an infant, and now only Richard survives to inherit his father's legacy and, perhaps, the English throne.723
