- Gaunt is an anglicisation of Ghent. John of Gaunt was born in the abbey of Saint Bavo in Ghent, modern-day Belgium, on 6 March 1340, while his father, who had claimed the throne of France in 1337, was seeking allies against the French among the dukes and counts of the Low Countries.
- He was the 4th son, so unlikely to inherit the throne. He was the 6th child and 4th son of King Edward III and his queen, Philippa of Hainault and had 6 younger siblings, three brothers and three sisters.
- He had illustrious royal lineage. John’s father Edward III had been king of England for 13 years when John was born, and ruled for half a century, the 5th longest reign in English history after Elizabeth II, Victoria, George III and Henry III.
- He lived in a multicultural household. In the early 1350s, John lived in the household of his eldest brother, Edward of Woodstock, nicknamed the Black Prince.
