Laurence Minot (poet)

For other people named Laurence Minot, see Laurence Minot (disambiguation).

Laurence Minot (1300? 1352?) was an English poet. Nothing is certainly known of him. It has been suggested that he was a cousin of Thomas Minot, Archbishop of Dublin 1363-75.[1] He may have been a soldier. Eleven poems are attributed to them, all of which appear uniquely in London: British Library, MS Galba E. ix. In them, he celebrates in northern English and with a somewhat ferocious patriotism the victories of Edward III over the Scots and the French.
