John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford ( 20 June 1389 – 14 September 1435 ), also known as '''John Plantagenet''', was the fourth son of King Henry IV of England by Mary De Bohun , and acted as Regent of England for his nephew, King Henry VI . He was created Earl Of Kendal , Earl Of Richmond and Duke Of Bedford in 1414 by his brother, King Henry V . In 1423 , he married Anne, daughter of John The Fearless, Duke Of Burgundy .
