Ever since the end of the 14th century, Chaucer has been known as the "father of English poetry," a model of writing to be imitated by English poets”. He was one of the first poets of his day to write exclusively in English. Team INTERVAL

25th October 1400, death of English poet, author, philosopher, astronomer and 'Father of English literature' Geoffrey Chaucer best known for The Canterbury Tales. In 1373, Chaucer visited Genoa and Florence, and possibly met the Italian poets Petrarch, and Boccaccio, whose humanistic style, may have inspired the writing of the Canterbury Tales. Boccaccio’s work the ‘Decameron’, completed in 1353, tells of 100 tales told by seven women, and three men, as they shelter in a villa outside Florence to escape the pestilence of the Black Death in 1348, which had killed three-quarters of Florence's population. Petrarch’s work also was associated with the black Death, due to the outbreak killing his poetic muse Laura in 1348, sending him into a further despairing state. Canterbury Tales was first published in 1478 by William Caxton, the first known English printer and publisher, introducing a printing press into England in 1476. Chaucer died on this day of unknown causes, the only reference to the date of his death however comes from engraving on his tomb placed there 100 years after his death. It has been speculated that he was murdered by the enemies of Richard II, who he had had a close association with due to his friendship, and later being brother in law to Richard’s uncle John of Gaunt. It was John of Gaunt’s son Henry Bolingbroke who had deposed Richard in 1399, and was crowned as Henry IV, providing further speculation that Chaucer was killed upon Henry IV’s orders. Whatever the reason for his death, Chaucer was buried in Westminster Abbey, his remains being transferred to a new area of the Abbey now known as ‘Poet’s Corner’. All art shown is inspired by the history of the Black Death, and is for sale on the website: www.ofgraveconcern.com #canterburytales #macabremonday #macabremondays #halloween2021 #blackdeath #plaguedoctor #geoffreychaucer #14thcentury #petrarch #boccaccio #decameron #thedecameron #plague #blackdeathdoctor #pestilence #richardii #johnofgaunt #henryiv #westminsterabbey #poetscorner #plaguedoctorart #plaguedoctors #macabrehistory #halloweenhistory #darkhistory #plaguehistory #laura #englishliterature #florenceitaly #thecanterburytales https://www.instagram.com/p/CVdSwgfFiKr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Les chiens et leurs colliers au Moyen Âge

Les chiens jouent un rôle important dans la vie des humains depuis des milliers d'années et, plus que tout autre animal domestiqué, ce rôle est resté relativement inchangé. Aujourd'hui, les chiens servent de gardiens, exécutent des tours ou des tâches et sont considérés comme des compagnons, voire des membres de la famille, tout comme ils l'étaient à des époques antérieures.

Perros y collares en la Edad Media

Los perros han desempeñado un papel destacado en la vida de los humanos desde hace miles de años y, más que cualquier otro animal domesticado, este papel ha permanecido relativamente inalterado. Hoy en día, los perros hacen de guardianes, realizan trucos o tareas y son compañeros e incluso miembros de la familia, al igual que en épocas anteriores.
