I actually meant Eleanor of Brittany and nearly added something like "did I say Eleanor meaning Eleanor Cobham or Eleanor of Brittany, well l meant the latter but if you want to include the former... I'm not complaining 😈" 🤣

If you want to do more, though: Eleanor of Brittany with Eleanor Cobham's scrunkly husband, Humphrey, and John of Bedford? 😈😈😈😈

That's actually amazing lmao 😂 But YES I had a lot of fun doing another round with these three so I see this as an absolute win! :)

~THE CHILDREN OF HENRY IV, KING OF ENGLAND.~

“Henry's first son was Henry of Monmouth, later Henry V, who was born in Monmouth Castle on 16 September 1386. Until recently this date has been open to question, for other sources record his date of birth as 9 August 1387. In Monmouth itself all the public commemorations of the birth of the town's most famous son are proudly marked '1387'. However, Henry IV's accounts as earl of Derby for 1387-8 clearly show that Thomas, his second son, was born before Christmas 1387, as Christmas livery was purchased for his nurse in that year. If Thomas was born before Christmas 1387, his older brother cannot have been born later than the winter of 1386-7. Thus the date of 16 September 1386 must be preferred over 9 August 1387, not as a matter of likelihood but due to the impossibility of the later date.

[...] Tallying with this is the fact that Henry IV's household was at Monmouth in September 1386 and was not there in August 1387. In 1403 Henry V made a Maundy payment to seventeen paupers, indicating that he was then in his seventeenth year (following his father's example), and so born before Maundy Thursday 1387. On the strength of this and evidence cited by Christopher Allmand, Henry V's date of birth is as certain as that of any late medieval king, and the references to his birth in 1387 are incorrect.

Henry's second son, Thomas, was born in the autumn of 1387, as stated above. It is possible that the date of 9 August 1387 wrongly assigned to Henry V is in fact the date of Thomas's birth. It would appear that he was born in London, for Henry made a gift to the midwife who had assisted at the birth in London on 25 November 1387. A London birth would also explain why Thomas is never given a topographical surname, except in relation to his family (Thomas of Lancaster).

Henry's third son, John, was born on 20 June 1389.15 His fourth son, Humphrey, was born in the autumn of 1390. Henry received news of Humphrey's birth on or about 1 November 1390 at Königsberg, from an English sailor. It appears likely therefore that he was born in mid-to-late September 1390.

Henry's elder daughter, Blanche, was born in the spring of 1392 at Walmsford, near Peterborough. Henry's account for 1391-2 refers to payments for gowns for his sons and Blanche's nurse in May 1392. No payments for her appear in relation to Christmas 1391, so she was not born before the end of that year. It was in the summer of 1394 that Mary (Henry's wife) died, giving birth to their youngest daughter, Philippa. Given that the child survived, Mary probably died after the actual birth rather than during it. Thus the date of her death is the nearest we can get to a reliable date of birth for Philippa. We currently cannot be more precise than a little before 6 July, the day Mary was buried at Leicester. The ODNB gives 4 July as the date of her death.

In 1401 Henry had an illegitimate son, Edmund Le bourde, by an unknown woman. The boy was raised in England and educated in London. Henry wrote to Pope John XXIII to grant a dispensation for him to enter the Church in late 1411, and this was granted on 15 January 1412. Nothing more is known of him.”
