Ridolpho was a travelling Itallian trupador, he was annoying but fairly histocially accurate.

Like Chaucer's characters, various Knightmare fans undertook an April pilgrimage of sorts this year (and the year before), and I for one had the Canterbury Tales in mind beforehand...

I studied the Reeve's Tale at A Level. I'll read more of Chaucer at some point.

Chaucer's Knight is very little like Sir Hugh de Whitless thoug.
