According to James I both Gower and Chaucer sat on the steps of rhetoric, while Lyndesay includes Lydgate in the number and asserts that all three rang the bell of rhetoric. Bokenham calls Gower, Chaucer, and Lydgate the "first rethoryens"; and as late as 1590, Chaucer and Lydgate are called "The first that ever elumined our language with flowers of rethorick eloquence."
