A Medieval Mystery. In this enthralling work of historical speculation Terry Jones investigates the mystery surrounding the death of Geoffrey Chaucer over 600 years ago. In 1400 his name strangely disappears from the records without trace. What if he was murdered? What if he and his writings had become politically inconvenient when the oppressive regime of Henry IV overthrew the liberal Richard II. Terry Jones' daring and controversial hypothesis is the introduction to a remarkable reading of Chaucer's writings as evidence, interwoven with a brilliant portrait of one of the most turbulent periods in English history, its politics and personalities.
