Excerpt from Chaucer: Animaduersions Vppon the Annotacions and Corrections of Some, Imperfections of Impressiones of Chaucers Workes (Sett Downe Before Tyme, and Nowe) Reprinted in the Yere of Oure Lorde I598

Thynne's note on the family of Gower (p. 12) is of value as agreeing with later theories, which deny that Gower the poet was of the Gowers of Stittenham, the ancestors of the present houses of Sutherland and Ellesmere. The question is not, however, finally decided, and we have reason to believe that all the Gowers of Great Britain are descended from the same family of Guers still flourishing in Brittany. Early coat armours are not much to be depended on, and Thynne as a Herald may lean a little too much towards them. The question is, however, in good hands, and I hope that before long some fresh light may be thrown upon it.
