Chaucer's Knight by Terry Jones

This study by former "Monty Python" member Terry Jones, now reissued with a new foreword, questions the accepted view of Chaucer's knight as a conventional and virtuous pillar of the establishment, and concentrates on the historical reality of the mercenary knight common on the battlefields of Chaucer's day, a perspective which calls for a reassessment of "The Knight's Tale"'s usual interpretation as courtly romance.
