Philippa Roet: Around 1346 she was born to Giles "Payne" Roet (age 36). Before 1367 Geoffrey Chaucer (age 24) and Philippa Roet (age 20) were married at St Mary de Castro Leicester, Leicestershire. Excerpta Historica Page 152. Philippa (age 24), his eldest daughter, is stated to have been the maid of honour to Philippa Queen of Edward the Third who by the name of "Philippa Pycard" obtained a grant of one hundred shillings per annum on the 20th January 1370, and married Geoffrey Chaucer (age 27), to whom, in consequence, it is supposed, of this connexion, the Duke of Lancaster granted the Castle of Dodington. Of John of Gaunt's connexion with Chaucer, however, no proof has been found; and the circumstance of the lady assigned to him for his wife being styled "Philippa Pycard," instead of Roelt, renders the assertion, that she was the sister of the Duchess of Lancaster, extremely doubtful.
