Chaucer & The Canterbury Tales

He was born as England had entered into a war of conquest which was to last over 100 years, he survived the Black Death, and world witness the first revolutionary rising to challenge the status quo to date. he would be a soldier, a prisoner, a spy, a top civil servant and a courtier. Throughout and despite all this, he would lead what was a brief golden age of English literature. Ultimately, he may have fallen foul of an English Inquisition.
