George Ashby (poet) : ウィキペディア英語版 | George Ashby (poet) George Ashby (ca. 1390–1475) was an English civil servant and poet. ==Life== He was born about 1390, and was from Warwickshire.〔Griffiths p. 834 note 87.〕 He was clerk of the signet, first to Henry VI from the beginning of his reign, and afterwards to Margaret of Anjou, in whose service he evidently travelled abroad. Margaret named him steward of Warwick in 1446.〔Griffiths p. 258.〕 In 1459 he was in Parliament, as member for the borough of Warwick.〔Griffiths p. 785.〕 Ashby was perhaps confined in the Fleet Prison by the Yorkist conquerors of Henry VI, who was deposed in 1461. Subsequently the poet would seem to have directed the education of the young Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales, Henry VI's son, until his murder in 1471. He appears to have owned an estate named 'Breakspeares' in Harefield, Middlesex. Ashby died on 20 February 1475, and was buried at Harefield. He left a son John, who died in 1496. A grandson George was clerk of the signet to Henry VII and Henry VIII, and died on 5 March 1515.
