John Skelton, also known as John Shelton (c. 1463 – 21 June 1529) was an English poet and tutor to King Henry VIII of England. Writing in a period of linguistic transition between Middle English and Early Modern English, Skelton is one of the most important poets of the early Tudor period. Though strongly influenced by the Chaucerian tradition, Skelton is mostly remembered for his poems on everyday themes and invectives, written in an irregular metre now usually called Skeltonics. He also wrote the first secular morality play in English, Magnyfycence, an important landmark in the development of English Renaissance theatre.
Skelton took up the style of poet laureate, possibly after appointment by Henry VII. He died in Westminster in 1529, and was buried in St. Margaret's Church, although no trace of the tomb remains.[1]
