Death
Although there is no true evidence, Philippa is thought to have died in 1387, due to her last recorded pension being on 18 June 1387. This is evidenced by Chaucer’s last recorded overseas journey, which was in the same year. It is also suggested that he may have fallen out of favor with the court following her presumed death.
