John of Lancaster (1389-1435), later Duke of Bedford, was the son of Henry IV and Mary Bohun. After John's father, Henry, deposed Richard II in 1399, John and his brothers were able to obtain land and titles which brought them a large amount of power. After the English invasion of France by his brother, Henry V, John spent much of his time in France involved in warfare and was present at the peace treaty of Troyes in 1420. During this time he was responsible for the tenuous alliance between England and Burgandy against France. In 1423 he married Anne of Burgandy but they did not have any children. The Burgundian alliance broke down in 1435 shortly before his own death.
