ArchivesRe: My column on Lionel
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
I like the name Lionel.
I have just finished The Eagle and the Hart by Helen Castor which I recommend. It is about Richard II and Henry IV, Lionel's nephews.
A small correction - at the time in England, the sons of kings (expecting the Prince of Wales) were not styled Princes. They were royal Dukes, and were known by their ducal title, and place of birth. So Lionel was known as Lionel of Antwerp, Duke of Clarence.
