Chaucer’s Visits to Yorkshire

Starts: Saturday 6 February 2027, 10am to 1pm GMT

In 1357 a teenage Geoffrey Chaucer visited Yorkshire in the household of Elizabeth de Burgh, countess of Ulster, and her husband Lionel of Antwerp, son of Edward III. This was one of a series of visits to Hatfield Manor, near Doncaster, made by Chaucer in the 1350s.

This course explores how Chaucer came to be employed by Lionel of Antwerp, his visits to Yorkshire, and how his association with Lionel took him to France in 1359 during the Hundred Years War.
