• Notes

  Alice, d. 1475, widow of Sir John Philip & dau. & heir of Thomas Chaucer, Chief Butler to Richard II & Henry IV, speaker of the House of Commons, probably son of Geoffrey Chaucer, English poet, brother-in-law of John of Gaunt. [Ancestral Roots] ------------------------------- He [William de la Pole] married (licence 11 November 1430) Alice, the childless widow of Thomas (MONTAGU), 4th EARL OF SALISBURY (died 3 November 1428), and before that of Sir John PHILIP (died 2 October 1415), only child and (in 1434) heir of Thomas CHAUCER, of Ewelme, Oxon, Speaker of the House of Commons (son and heir of Geoffrey CHAUCER, the poet), by Maud, daughter and coheir of John DE BURGHERSH [LORD KERDESTON] of Ewelme. While leaving England in accordance with the King's sentence, his ship was intercepted by the Nicholas of the Tower in Dover Roads, 1 May, and he was murdered there, 2 May 1450, his head being cut off in an open boat, aged 53. His body was thrown upon the beach near Dover and was buried at Wingfield. After his death, although he was never under attainder, the Earldom of Pembroke seems to have lapsed. His widow, who was born about 1404, died 20 May (or possibly 9 June) 1475, and was buried at Ewelme. M.I. [Complete Peerage XII/1:443-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
