- Description
- Perry documents the complex relationships among the Roets, Swynfords, Lancastrians, and Chaucer's family, rejecting speculation that Thomas Chaucer was the illegitimate son of John of Gaunt and commenting on the dowering of Elizabeth Chaucer at Barking Abbey. She examines various kinds of historical evidence, including heraldry.
