To Do on Kingly Father chapter 8 June 2014

The Kingly Father

• rearrange whole chapter into a section on Edward, Isabella, Joan, Lionel, and John; and a section on Edmund, Mary, Margaret and Thomas. 

Number of Children

• Revise numbers of children for John of Gaunt, counting the Beauforts as illegitimate, using the ILLs - particularly the Issue of the Kings of England book I copied before coming out. 
• Continue the discussion of the amount of children being important and the table of amounts of children

Military Conquests

• Link the lack of connection between the military conquests and the children's births to Edward's policy on family and honour and so on. 
• Check out the ODNB of Edward of Woodstock (save all the relevant articles to the sources folder for later use) 
• Develop paragraph about Edward allowing/ not allowing Edward of Woodstock to rule - find the differing opinions and synthesise them

Edward and his Dynasty

• Make notes from the Ormrod article 'Monarchy, Martyrdom and Masculinity: England in the Later Middle Ages' in Holiness and Masculinity and add them here

Management of Sons/Children

• Develop the section about Edward's policy about the sons' roles - did it work?
• Provide primary evidence that Edward tried to make his sons demi-kings and then add secondary sources
• I'm repeating the stuff about Edward of Woodstock and Aquitaine here - should they be combined here? Elsewhere?
• Balance the opinions on Edward and Edward and Aquitaine - did he let him have control?
• Be more clear about the timeline of events regarding the births of his children and potential heirs. When would he have felt secure? Link to Black Death problems - is it repetitive?
