My influences included Chaucer. John Lydgate, 'Chaucer's' most prolific admirer, was born in Suffolk in 1370 in the village of Lydgate near the abbey of Bury St. Edmund's. He entered the Benedictine abbey at Bury when fifteen and may have been educated earlier at the school of the Benedictine monks there and have been afterwards at the Benedictine house of studies at Oxford. It is possible, that he studied at both Oxford and Cambridge, and it is fairly certain that he travelled in France, and perhaps in Italy. He was ordained priest in 1397. He opened a school for sons of the nobility probably in the monastery of Bury.

The Canon of John Lydgate Project The Lives of Ss. Edmund and Fremund: Introduction The Poet: John Lydgate John Lydgate was born about 1370 in the village of Lidgate (or Lydgate), Suffolk; he died, probably in 1449. Most of his life was spent as a monk of the Benedictine Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds : he joined the monastery about 1382, and was there ordained a priest in 1397. He is said to have spent some time in Oxford, probably reading theology in the Benedictine's Gloucester College: there is a letter from Prince Henry (later Henry V) of about 1406 to the Abbot and Convent of Bury, declaring that he has heard from the Chancellor of Oxford University much good of one "Dan J. L." (almost certainly John Lydgate), and he requests that the Abbot and Convent give permission for this student to continue his studies (the letter appears in Legge 411-412). Lydgate spent much time out of the abbey: he seems to have been in fairly frequent attendance upon the royal court, spending periods of time in London, Windsor, and even Paris (in 1426-1427), where he translated into English the "Dance of Death" (or "The Daunce of Machabree"; see the Index of Middle English Verse no. 2590; also see the

Return to Menu of TEAMS Texts Medieval Institute Publications Online Store JOHN LYDGATE'S PROLOGUE TO THE SIEGE OF THEBES : INTRODUCTION John Lydgate's Prologue to the Siege of Thebes Edited by John M. Bowers Originally Published in The Canterbury Tales: Fifteenth-Century Continuations and Additions Kalamazoo, Michigan: Medieval Institute Publications, 1992 INTRODUCTION John Lydgate was born c. 1370 when Chaucer was completing The Book of the Duchess ; he was admitted to the monastery at Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, in 1385 when Chaucer was finishing Troilus and Criseyde ; and he was ordained a priest in 1397 when Chaucer was in the final phase of The Canterbury Tales . Probably while studying at Oxford in the late 1390s, he made contact with Thomas Chaucer, who resided at Ewelme in the neighboring Oxfordshire countryside (Schirmer 59-65). The conjunction of these two rising stars, the one with political ambitions and the other with poetic aspirations, led to a great outpouring of Chaucerian versifications spanning the entire first half of the fifteenth century, until Lydgate's death c. 1450 (Pearsall 1970, 49-82). The Siege of Thebes falls about midway in Lydgate's career. An allusion near the end of the poem to the Treaty of Troyes means it was concluded after May 1420; its general address to Henry V indicates it was completed before the monarch's premature death in August 1422. The Prologue's portrayal of Lydgate as a monk adhering to the strict regulations of his order seems to be a direct, almost point-by-point reply to the king's formal list of complaints against laxness among the Benedictines, leading to a special convocation of Black Monks at Westminster in May 1421 (Pantin 98-134). It is possible that Lydgate wrote the

Return to Menu of TEAMS Texts Medieval Institute Publications Online Store MARGARET OF ANTIOCH, INTRODUCTION Margaret of Antioch Edited by Sherry L. Reames Originally Published in Middle English Legends of Women Saints Kalamazoo, Michigan: Medieval Institute Publications, 2003 INTRODUCTION St. Margaret of Antioch was one of the most popular saints among the laity in medieval England, primarily because of her association with childbirth. Many churches housed side altars or images of this saint and had guilds dedicated to her. St. Margaret is also one of the most common subjects for wall paintings in England; some churches have her entire life - as many as twenty scenes - adorning their walls. When hearing the story of Margaret retold on her feast day (July 20), many people could have followed along by looking at the images painted on the walls of their own church. Because of the promises made just before Margaret's death to assist anyone - especially women in childbirth - who has her life written down, reads it, or has it read to them, extant copies of her legend are quite common, some of them written on long strips of parchment which were fastened around the abdomens of women in labor. The cult of St. Margaret first developed in the eastern Church (the first extant Lives in Greek date from the ninth century), where she was known as Marina and usually portrayed as seizing a demon, about to strike him with a hammer. Her victory over the demon caused Marina to be regarded as a protector against demonic powers generally. Once her cult became established in the West, her intercessory power became more specific and included protection for newborns against demonic possession and other birth defects. Eventually she came to be identified as a protector of both mother and child during and immediately after birth, although (as will be seen in the two later Middle English texts) the petitions for undeformed children are sometimes omitted and the prayer focuses primarily on the mother's welfare.

A Day Out in Suffolk Site Tools Search Text Only Page Print View The heathland around Aldeburgh , the little houses facing the sea and the quay at Slaughden with its marshes and mudflats, were the inspiration for Suffolk's greatest poet, George Crabbe (1754-1832). In the elegant seaside resort of today, famous for its music festival, visitors are scarcely likely to meet 'A wild, amphibious race / With sullen woe display'd in every face', but Crabbe, whose early life was hard, experienced the depression and brutality of a poor fishing settlement. In his great poems, The Village and The Borough he drew on that experience to become one of the first landscape poets to write realistically about humble people. His story of Peter Grimes, included in The Borough , inspired a later son of Suffolk, Benjamin Britten, to compose his opera based on it.

John Lydgate (c.1370-1449) was born in the village of Lidgate, Suffolk. In 1382, he entered the Benedictine abbey at Bury St. Edmunds as a boy and was ordained priest in 1397. He remained in the abbey for the rest of his life with short interruptions. He spent some time in London, Oxford and Paris and was prior of Hatfield Broadoak, Essex, from 1421-1432. He was an admirer of Geoffrey Chaucer and a friend of his son, Thomas Chaucer. Noble people like Henry V, Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and Henry VI were his patrons. His work comprises well over 100.000 lines and shows a great variety in content and style: from long translations to brief occasional poems and a short prose work on Julius Caesar. He is best known for his translations from French and Latin, like The Troy Book The Pilgrimage of the Life of Man (1426) and T he Siege of Thebes , where he presents himself as a Canterbury pilgrim, who is asked by Chaucer's pilgrims to tell his tale. His indebtedness to Chaucer is shown in his allegories . e.g. The Temple of Glass (modeled on The House of Fame The Complaint of the Black Knight (after The Book of the Duchess His work was very influential and in the 15th century he was considered equal to Chaucer and Gower , but today he is especially criticized for his verbosity.

I lied to excuse myself. I stole apples and I spared neither hedge nor wall to get at grapes. I made mouths at people like a wanton ape. I gambled at cherry stones.
