Posted for my interested FR friends. I'm not particularly interested in this period.

Interesting. Thanks.

Was Arkansas discovered then?

Who Killed Chaucer?

Any number of disgruntled literature students would have loved to do it.

Thanks, my friend. I AM interested in this period. I studied the Middle Ages, read Chaucer's works in the original, and named my first child "Dorigen" for the heroine of the Franklin's Tale, Chaucer's description of ideal marriage. (My daughter who calls herself Dori, did not forgive me for that until she was 21, and I gave her my annotated complete works of Chaucer.)

I want to know who killed Bruce Lee.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting it. This book will undoubtedly pierce the drought of Marche to the roote.

Maybe Chaucer decided to lay low and became a monk. Just because he "disappears" doesn't mean he was murdered.

Did Chaucer know the Clintons?

Jones and his colleagues allege that in 1400, Chaucer basically disappears. They say there is no official confirmation of his death, no chronicle entry, no notice of a funeral or burial, no will, and no remaining manuscripts.

Are we sure he is dead?
