 | | However, the court party soon after concocted a fresh plot for the dukes destruction; John boldly denounced his traducers, and the quarrel was appeased by the intervention of the kings mother. | | | The dukes politics were opposed by the chief ecclesiastics, and in resisting them he had made use of Wycliffe. | | | John on his part was glad to support the kings government; during four years he exercised his influence in favor of pacification at home, and abroad was chiefly responsible for the conclusion of a truce with France. |

| | He received half of Henry& lands, the title Earl of Lancaster - and distinction as the greatest land owner in the north of England - because of his first marriage to his cousin, Blanche of Lancaster (1359), heiress to the Palatinate of Lancaster. | | | He was created Duke of Lancaster in 1362, following the death of his father-in-law Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster. | | | At a time when English forces encountered setbacks in the Hundred Years' War against France and Edward III& rule had started to become domestically unpopular due to high taxation and to the King's affair with Alice Perrers, political opinion closely associated the Duke of Lancaster with the failing government of the 1370s. |

| | Henry, however, had a rather more equivocal relationship with Richard: they were first cousins and childhood playmates, and were admitted together to the Order of the Garter in 1377, but Henry participated in the Lords Appellant’s rebellion against the King in 1387. | | | After regaining power, Richard did not punish Henry (many of the other rebellious barons were executed or exiled), and in fact elevated him from earl of Derby to duke of Hereford. | | | The relationship between Henry and the King reached a second crisis in 1398, when Richard banished Henry from the kingdom for ten years -- with John of Gaunt's approval -- to avoid a blood feud between Henry of Bolingbroke and Thomas de Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk (who was exiled for life). |
