At Wynds[ore, ] the etc. To the Mair and his brethern of Southamton. CAMD. SOC. 114 LETTERS OF MARGARET OF ANJOU. LXXXI. A Letter from Queen Margaret to the wife of a man of high rank, thanking her for assistance given to George Assheby, Clerk of her Signet, and requesting her further benevolence. The reference in this letter to the death of the Duke of Gloucester shews that it was written after 1447, in February of which year the Duke died (or was murdered) at Bury St. Edmund's. It may have be...en addressed to Alice Duchess of Suffolk, granddaughter of Geoffrey Chaucer, whose husband was at this time chief minister ; or to Alianore Duchess of Somerset, whose husband, Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, succeeded to the Duke of Suffolk, on his murder, at sea, in May 1450. » George Asheby appears to have been in the service of the Duke of Gloucester, and was at this time "clerk of our signet. " He was a poet of some note. He wrote, amongst other works, a moral poem for the use of Henry Prince of Wales, intituled " On the Active Policy of a Prince, " which is still extant amongst Bishop More's MSS.
