Edmund Spenser, one of England's greatest poets, was born in 1552 and educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge. His notable works include "The Shepheardes Calender" and the epic "The Faerie Queene," considered his masterpiece.

He died in 1599, with fellow poets mourning his passing at his burial in Westminster Abbey.
