A VAIN AND INDECENT WOMAN by Falconer, Colin. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781718061484.

England, 1340: One princess, two husbands. By order of the king. The poignant story of the most extraordinary love affairs in English royal history. When the young Joan of Kent marries William Montagu at Westminster Abbey in 1341, she becomes the first and only princess in British history to knowingly commit bigamy - and it is done at the royal command of her uncle King Edward III. But Joan is no frail English rose. For ten long years she defies her family, her country and her king to keep faith with the man she claims is her true husband. They are all sure she will break in the end. This is the true story of Joan of Kent, told from the point of view of the man who knew her best: her dead father, who can only watch from the shadows as she fights for her love and her life, alone.
