Langland, William (1330s–90s). Author of
Piers Plowman. Little is known about Langland beyond what can be surmised from his great allegorical poem: that he was a cleric in minor orders, married to one Kit, that he originated in the south‐west, had connections with Malvern, and lived for a period in London.
