His surname derives from the French ''Chaucier'', which means shoemaker. He was placed among a group of young man and women serving in that royal household to advance their careers, and it meant also that he had to leave his family to work as a knight. At the age of 17 years old, Geoffrey followed Edward III's son to war in France, where he was taken prisoner by the king. After Chaucer’s release, he joined the Royal Service, traveling throughout France, Spain and Italy on diplomatic missions; his travel dured 10 years and he met Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio.]]> 2017-03-18 17:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/donutgiordano/ffack48llru0/wish/160943388 donutgiordano https://padlet.com/donutgiordano/ffack48llru0/wish/160945407 In 1366, Geoffrey has married his longtime friend, Philippa Pann, a rich lady. The marriage conveniently helped further Chaucer’s career in the English court. Then he contributed for the costruction of the Tower of London, in Westminister. In an hard time he was caught up in an illegal scandal, but they found out that he was sinless. Afterwards, Chaucer moved to Kent, where his wife died, living him with two sons and two daughters. ]]> 2017-03-18 17:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/donutgiordano/ffack48llru0/wish/160945407 donutgiordano https://padlet.com/donutgiordano/ffack48llru0/wish/160947312 Around the 1387, Chaucer devoted much of his time writing his most famous work, Canterbury Tales.  Geoffrey Chaucer died on October 25, 1400 in London, England.
