Chaucer: Good people, I missed my introduction. But please... Please I pray you, hear it now, for I would lay rest the grace in my tongue and speak plainly.

Trivia: Several of the named knights were, in fact, real, though many of them are from different time periods.

Sir Thomas Colville, Edward III's disguise, was a knight from the 13th Century.
