Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: In 1359, during the 100 Years War, Chaucer was part of Edward III’s army but was captured for ransom during the siege of Reims.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chaucer did serve in the Hundred Years’ War. While there, he spent time trying to familiarize himself with the works of Italian poets Dante and Petrarch. Sadly, while traveling, Chaucer had little time to devote to writing. In 1359, Chaucer was called to join Edward III in the early stages of the invasion of France.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Hundred Years’ War was a long struggle between England and France over succession to the French throne. It lasted from 1337 to 1453, so it might more accurately be called the “116 Years’ War.” The war starts off with several stunning successes on Britain’s part, and the English forces dominate France for decades.
