My Lord John was Georgette Heyer's last novel and was published after her death. Fictionalised History was Heyer's true passion and she looked upon this chronicle of the House of Lancaster as her Magnum Opus. However, financial burdens forced her to set aside her work in order to write another of her Regency Romances. She eventually died of lung cancer before being able to complete the story. Her husband George Ronald Rougier published the unfinished book a year after her death.

Plot summary

John of Lancaster is the son of Henry IV and the favourite brother of Henry V. This book chronicles his life from 1393 through until 1413. Although incomplete (the book is finished where Heyer left it) the Historical Note at the end fills in the gaps. Uses a lot of Middle English language but includes a Glossary for easier reading in the back.

Simon the Coldheart (1925) covers much the same period (1400–1418). Kings Henry IV and Henry V also appear in it.
