- Description
- Coleman argues that Philippa of Lancaster, oldest legitimate daughter of John of Gaunt and queen of Portugal from 1387, sponsored the Portuguese and Castilian translations of Gower's "Confessio" Amantis. Philippa may also have been responsible for an analogue to Chaucer,s Pardoner,s Tale that turns up in Hermengildo de Tancos' "Orto do esposo."
