The dark side of Chaucer’s London is a rich source for plots and vivid characters who fill the c hronicles of the time with their passions and ambitions. Wth more thn riches and reputations at stake, their lives were often in jeopardy as a glance at the archives of the City of London shows. The mayor is said to have had his own gallows out at Lewisham at a place called the Foul Oak. When called to account he didn’t run as many did but stayed to face the music. He put up a good show in the Commons. It made no difference. He was beheaded on Tower Hill. What times.
