"According to Pearsall, The Life of Geoffrey Chaucer, pg. 1

on of Lister M. Matheson, Robert was known as Robert Malyn
, Robert le Chaucer, Robert Malyn le Chaucer, Robert of Ips
wich, and Robert de Dynyngton. Pearsall, pg. 12, explains R
obert's name change by referencing 'a recent study by Liste
r Matheson.' When robert's employer, John le Chaucer ('a me
rcer'), was killed in a brawl (1302), Robert inherited th
e business and took his employer's surname. Robert seems t
o have done well for himself: he was in the king's servic
e in 1305."
