DUFF, E.G. (1905), p.55
GODET (GILES), stationer in London, took out letters of denization April 8th, 1551 [Pat. 5 Edw. VI, p. 5, m. 28], and was admitted a brother of the Stationers' Company May 16th, 1555. In 1562 he was living in Blackfriars and is mentioned in the Returns of Aliens [I, 290]. His best known work was the Genealogie of the Kings of England, a series of sheets containing large woodcuts, for which he obtained a license in 1562-3. He seems to have been a wood engraver and his publications consisted almost entirely of woodcuts. In 1564 and 1567 he is entered in the Returns of Aliens [I, 303, 360] as Goddard and Gubbett, and is said in the last entry to have been in England twenty years. The last entry to him in the Stationers' Registers was between July, 1567, and July, 1568.
