WHO MURDERED CHAUCER?: A MEDIEVAL MYSTERY

2003

This book investigates the mysterious circumstances surrounding Geoffrey Chaucer's death in 1400, arguing that the medieval poet may have been murdered for political reasons rather than dying of natural causes. The authors examine historical evidence and political context to build a case that Chaucer was killed due to his connections to Richard II's court and the political upheaval following Henry IV's usurpation of the throne.
