- Description
- Reconstructs a career for the Knight, based on the GP description and details from KnT, MkT, and historical sources. Maintains that Chaucer had met the Knight, perhaps in France, and that the Knight was some fifteen years younger than usually thought, having served under Sultan Muhammad V of Granada at Algeciras in 1369, not in the Christian conquest of the port in 1344.
