Epigraph

First words

The Pardoner's Tale in Context
Chaucer's life

There is much uncertainty surrounding Geoffrey Chaucer's exact date of birth, although it seems likely that he was born some time in the early 1340s (1343 is often given as the likely date) in London.
Quotations
WIth hym ther rood a gentil PARDONER
of Rouncevale, his freend and his comeer,
That streight was comen fro the court of Rome.
Ful loude he soong, 'Com hider, love, to me!'
