(1460?–1529), English poet and satirist, born probably in Diss, Norfolk, and educated at the University of Cambridge. He was a tutor to Prince Henry, later Henry VIII. Skelton was ordained a priest in 1498 and became rector of Diss about 1502. He was also adviser to Henry VIII. He is best known for his satirical poems attacking the court and the corruption of the clergy. Skelton’s verse is written in a unique style known as Skeltonics, short, alliterative lines with a persistent repetition of the same rhyme that suggest ordinary speech. His poems include The Bowge of Court (1499), Collyn Clout (1522), and Why Come Ye Not to Court? (1522).
