- Published

- Description
- Henry of Lancaster is usually treated in the context of medieval English history; Chaucer, of medieval English literature. Better understanding of the Anglo-French language and culture familiar to both men helps us appreciate Anglo-French and assess the "Livre de seyntz medicines," Henry's penitential work rooted in the French of a small group of the religious elite.
