Chaucer was a courtier under the King (more than one, if I remember correctly) and went on missions to places such as France and Spain.
Of course he is best known as being a poet and so ultimately found that royalty made excellent patrons for the arts.

okay, sounds good. say, if we actually eventually annex the Turks and Caicos... we may have a location to build a space elevator. At least it would sport the best looking branding in the world (i.e. the maple leaf)!
How about we give the next round to Uncle Phil?
