  1. 1.  Joan Plantagenet, 4th Countess of Kent was born on 19 Sep 1328 (daughter of Edmund Plantagenet, of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent and Margaret Wake, 3rd Baroness Wake of Liddell); died on 7 Aug 1385.

    Notes:

    Joan, LG, suo jure 4th Countess of Kent, 5th Baroness Wake of Liddell (19 September 1328 – 7 August 1385), known to history as The Fair Maid of Kent, was the first post-conquest Princess of Wales as wife to Edward, the Black Prince, son and heir of King Edward III. Although the French chronicler Jean Froissart called her "the most beautiful woman in all the realm of England, and the most loving", the appellation "Fair Maid of Kent" does not appear to be contemporary.[1] Joan assumed the title of 4th Countess of Kent and 5th Baroness Wake of Liddell after the death of her brother, John, in 1352.
