Little is known about the woman who wrote as Marie de France. she was born and lived during the 12th century. According to Judy Shoaf, who translated much of her poetry, “She may have been an aristocratic woman, perhaps a nun, living in England but from France.” She published several poems, including a collection of poetry called “Lais,” and is considered one of the founders of French romantic poetry. She likely wrote in France and lived in England. She is thought by some to have been part of the "courtly love" movement associated with the court of Eleanor of Aquitaineat Poitiers. Her lais were perhaps the first of that genre, and she also published fables based on Aesop (which she claimed were from a translation from King Alfred).

Was born between the years 1340-1345, known as the first English author, Chaucer wrote in English at a time when Latin was considered the grammatica, or language which would not change, and most of the upper-class English spoke French. Chaucer himself often used French translations of Latin texts; that he chose the language of the lower-class Saxons rather than Norman nobility has perplexed readers and scholars for centuries. Chaucer’s body of best-known works includes the Parliament of Fouls, otherwise known as the Parlement of Foules, in the Middle English spelling. Some historians of Chaucer’s work assert that it was written in 1380, during marriage negotiations between Richard and Anne of Bohemia. Also, he writes Troilus and Criseyde 1380s, the period of time over which Chaucer penned The Legend of Good Women is uncertain, although most scholars do agree that Chaucer seems to have abandoned it before its completion. The legendary 14th century English poet Geoffrey Chaucer died October 25, 1400 in London, England. He died of unknown causes and was 60 years old at the time.
