Geoffrey Chaucer's mother was Agnes Copton.

There is a good chance that Chaucer grew up bilingual (French / English). The main language of administration was in the process of shifting from Norman French to English in Chaucer's own lifetime, and this may be a main reason why there is so much French influence in Chaucer's own writing.
