You're Dead to Me · Geoffrey Chaucer: the medieval father of English literature · 27 Feb 2026 podcast

That's more his thing.

But then we actually don't see him in the records for several years.

So between 1360 and 1366, we're not sure what he's doing.

Rather wonderfully, he reappears in Navarre.

Yeah.

So then it was an independent kingdom.

So now it's part of northern Spain, but then it was an independent kingdom.

And really interesting that he went there because at that time, Navarre was a much more multicultural country than England.

So this is the time that he went to a country where there were significant Jewish and Muslim populations as well as the Christian population.

And he was there doing something that we don't really know what he was doing.

But we have his safe conduct.

We know that he was doing something diplomatic.

There were all kinds of things happening at that point.

Aragon actually invaded Navarre while he was there.

There were lots of English soldiers there at the time.

So, I mean, there's many things he could have been doing.

But I guess in terms of just thinking about his life, he probably went there from Aquitaine, which the Black Prince, the oldest son of Edward III, was ruling at the time.

He may have been in the service of the Black Prince.

He may have been in royal service, in the king's service.

He was doing something to do with other royal households, as he had been for Elizabeth and Lionel.
