- Description
- Chaucer's childhood was pleasant and stimulating. He was a close and lifelong friend of John of Gaunt. Alice Perrers was likewise his close friend and patron. Richard was an intelligent, sensitive ruler, more sinned against than sinning. In 1398, he called Chaucer out of retirement to travel about England propagandizing on his behalf.
