Daughter and coheir of Henry Grosmont, duke of Lancaster, and his wife, Isabel Beaumont, Blanche [of Lancaster] belonged to a family in which education seems to have been the norm; as an act of penance, for instance, her father composed a devotional treatise entitled Le livre des seyntz medicines and an account of the laws of war, the latter now lost. Despite a 1347 agreement calling for the marriage of Blanche and John Segrave, she remained single until she was eighteen, when she married John of Gaunt (d. 1399), the son of Edward III and Philippa of Hainault. During their ten years of married life, John spent significant periods of time in campaigns abroad; nevertheless, Blanche bore him five children. Her inheritance of the vast Lancaster fortunes upon the deaths of her father (1361) and her sister, Maud (1362), brought John the title of duke of Lancaster and made him one of the wealthiest men of the realm. Although Blanche was no more than twenty-eight when she succumbed to the plague*, Froissart lauds her, ostensibly as a patron, in his Le joli buisson de jonece, and some of his poems may have been directed to her. Both John of Gaunt and Blanche of Lancaster have been traditionally linked to Geoffrey Chaucer, whose Book of the Duchess supposedly commemorates her untimely death. According to the Speght edition, moreover, Blanche was the patron of Geoffrey Chaucer’s ABC poem (also known as La priere Nostre Dame). Deriving from a prayer in Deguileville’s Pélerinage de la vie humaine, the ABC poem consists of alphabetically ordered stanzas addressed to the Virgin Mary. Such poems, as Susan Bell has observed, were used not only for private devotions, but also for teaching children reading and moral and religious values, and it is not unlikely that Blanche may have put her ABC to similar uses.

* Blanche is now believed to have died from complications in childbirth in 1368. Her date of birth has been a matter of some debate; ODNB gives her birth as "as early as 1340 or as late as 1347".
