Thomas Chaundler

Thomas Chaundler (1418-1490) was an English playwright and illustrator.

A manuscript at Trinity College, Cambridge depicts Chaundler presenting one of his plays to the Bishop of Bath, Thomas Beckynton, in 1460.

Between 1454 and 1475, Chaundler was Warden of New College, Oxford, and from 1463 to 1467 he served as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford.
