You might even be able to find a good cheap second hand copy somewhere although I suspect, even with Terry Jones's name rather prominently as the author, that it was not a best seller. He co-wrote it with Robert Yeager, Terry Dolan, Alan Fletcher and Juliette Dor. Their names appear on the cover but you would have to squint to see them.

We don't know what the nature of each visit was and it was to hostile courts so espionage was likely a part of his job. After all Chaucer's first patron was John of Gaunt and Chaucer was personally ransomed by Richard II after he had been captured by the French during the course of the Hundred Years War. <br /><br />@Oh I really wish you The Red Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731703967439763663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079559053290094565.post-53934107500625966252012-09-24T13:09:51.480-04:002012-09-24T13:09:51.480-04:00Oh I really wish you wrote a historical novel, my ...Oh I really wish you wrote a historical novel, my friend.
