Alyce Chaucer and the de la Pole Hull connections
by Christina Hardyment

Doors open 5.30pm for 6pm start.

In 1431 Geoffrey Chaucer’s only granddaughter Alyce married William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk, who came from a family of Hull merchants.

They lived at Ewelme, in Oxfordshire, which they transformed using the de la Pole’s expertise in building in brick.

Alyce’s splendid tomb in Ewelme church inspired Christina Hardyment to research into her life and write a series of history mysteries centred on William’s brutal murder in 1450.

Christina’s talk will examine what we know and what we can imagine about Alyce, emphasising the de la Pole’s Hull connections and the part they played in Alyce’s life.

Author bio:

Christina Hardyment has written books on many subjects, including a biography of Alyce Chaucer’s contemporary Sir Thomas Malory, author of the Morte d’Arthur.

Tickets: £5 online or at the door.
