Set in late 14th century England, the story follows Geoffrey Chaucer as he navigates the political tensions surrounding the duel between Henry Bolingbroke and Thomas Mowbray. To safeguard his thoughts, he begins a journal that reveals his relationships, the dynamics of the Richardian court, and his motivations for writing poetry despite holding significant bureaucratic roles. This narrative offers a rich exploration of Chaucer's life, his enduring literary legacy, and the societal intricacies of his time.
