Description
Comments on how the Hundred Years War "infiltrates" CT by way of "the first trio of portraits" and their depictions of late medieval warfare. Clarifies the meaning of "chyvachie" in the description of the Squire and dilates upon the significance of the English occupation of Calais, which shared a border with the places where the Squire fought.
