Synopsis
Where did the Chaucer name begin—and how did a London vintner become part of literary history? This nonfiction work untangles the early family of Chaucer through archival records, wills, and royal rolls from 14th-century England. It weaves together court orders, port duties, and city life to show a wealthy merchant’s influence and the pathways that link a London house to a famed poet.
This edition presents carefully sourced material that illuminates daily life in medieval London and the networks that sustained the Chaucer family. You’ll see how property, debt, and church ties shaped a family’s standing, and how local streets and wards referenced in ancient records map to real places today.
- Learn who Richard Chaucer was—his role as a vintner and citizen of London.
- Explore how royal and municipal records reveal business, property, and family ties.
- Discover addresses and streets like Cordwainer Street and Crown Lane that anchor the narrative.
- Understand how wills and chronicle notes connect life in 14th-century London to later literary history.
Ideal for readers of medieval history, genealogy, and Chaucer scholars seeking context about the poet’s early world.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins of Geoffrey Chaucer, Englandâs renowned medieval poet, focusing on the derivation of his surname and the identities of his ancestors. It challenges assumptions and explores new evidence to establish that Chaucerâ"originally spelled Chaucersâ"was a well-established surname, not a title deriving from the poetâs profession as a shoemaker. Through meticulous archival research, the author traces various Chaucers across England dating back to the thirteenth century, arguing that the poetâs immediate forbears were vintners rather than shoemakers. This book uncovers new information about Chaucerâs family and social status, providing a deeper understanding of the poetâs life and work within the context of his era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781527824331_0
