Detailed explanation-1: -His first wife, Machabyas Childe, is something of an enigma. She married Edmund Spenser on 27 October 1579 in St. Margaret’s Church, Westminster-a grand venue, which later witnessed the weddings of Samuel Pepys, Sir Winston Churchill, and Harold Macmillan.
Detailed explanation-2: -Edmund Spenser, (born 1552/53, London, England-died January 13, 1599, London), English poet whose long allegorical poem The Faerie Queene is one of the greatest in the English language. It was written in what came to be called the Spenserian stanza.
Detailed explanation-3: -He was recognized as a great poet within his own lifetime, though he carried out a simultaneous diplomatic and political career for several decades. In 1580, Spenser became the secretary of Arthur Lord Grey, lord deputy of Ireland, and he spent the next several years living and working in Ireland with his family.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Faerie Queene (1590) is an epic poem by Edmund Spenser (c. 1552–1599), which follows the adventures of a number of medieval knights. The poem, written in a deliberately archaic style, draws on history and myth, particularly the legends of Arthur.
