Godfrey Chaucer, the father OF
English poetry. died in London.
The place of his birth is I'M

are meagre enough. John Of
Gaunt. brother of Edward III,
was his patron and procured for
the poet many Offices. but the
Dukes death reduced him TO
poverty. Itwas during the latter
days Of misfortune that the
great poet wrote the immortal
Canterbury Tales.
