 All Psychology Is Freudian
 Katherine / int_31fa019d
comment
 All Psychology Is Freudian: John of Gaunt is first drawn to Katherine because she reminds of him of a beloved childhood nurse. He is also haunted by her son's (his childhood playmate) accusation that he is a foundling. Teenage Blanchette has a lot of Freudian Excuse that come to a head when an older boy she has a crush on clearly prefers Katherine... and then she overhears a friar accuse her mother of murdering her father. Katherine and Duke John didn't know till that moment that Hugh, her husband was murdered by a Poisonous Friend of the Duke's.

 Arranged Marriage

comment
 Arranged Marriage: Katherine and Hugh Swynford, de facto if not de jure. Plenty of others (this is the European nobility after all) including some of Katherine and John's daughters Blanchette avoided her unwanted arranged marriage by catching scarlet fever and then running away deliriously and joining a convent.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

 Affectionate Nickname

comment
 Affectionate Nickname: Geoffrey Chaucer calls his wife "Pica" (as does Queen Philippa) to save them confusion in a royal household filled with women named after the queen. John uses the French pronunciation of Katherine (Katrine) with Katherine as well as calling her "lovedy".
