Description
Milowicki advances several "speculations" about Chaucer's "French connections," particularly his possible introduction at the French court to the "study of the stars" and to the controversy of the relationship between astronomy and astrology reflected in FranT. Chaucer's son Lewis, cited in Astr, may have been named after Louis, son of Charles V of France.
