Lancastrian inheritance

edit

"By 1311 Bolingbroke had passed through marriage into the ownership of John of Gaunt and the House of Lancaster." Not possible. John was not born until about 1340. I guess it actually became a property of the Duchy of Lancaster, which John later acquired by marriage to the heiress Blanche. However, I don't have the details or references to hand, so I hope someone more expert can pick this problem up. Sjwells53 (talk) 20:47, 7 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
