- Description
- Provides historical background to the characterization of the Squire in GP 1.85-88, focusing on the economics, politics, and tactics of the so-called "Crusade of 1383" (or "Despenser's Crusade"), the implications of the word "chivachie," and ways that the Squire's military activities may have been understood negatively by Chaucer's audience, especially in contrast with those of the Knight.
