Autorenporträt

John Skelton (c. 1463-1529) was an English poet and tutor to King Henry VIII of England. It is said that several of Skelton's works were inspired by women who were to become mothers to two of Henry VIII's six wives. One of them was Elizabeth Boleyn, the mother of Anne Boleyn, who was said to be so beautiful that Skelton compared her to Cressida. Skelton also wrote three plays, only one of which survived, representing one of the best examples of the morality play by dealing with the same topic as his satirical poems - the evils of ambition.
