Piers Plowman electronic archive, viewed on Feb. 13, 2013: About > About William Langland (William Langland (ca. 1325 - ca. 1390); it is not certain when William Langland was born, but based on contemporary references in the earliest version of Piers Plowman (=A Text), it seems the earliest plausible date for his birth is ca. 1325 and the latest plausible date is ca. 1330; scholars assumed that Langland must have died before 1387; however, some scholars recently have pushed Langland's death-date to at least 1390)
