The Man Who Invented Valentine’s Day —And Was The Worst Storyteller In His Own Book#psychology#facts

@MotivationalPsychology
Geoffrey Chaucer was born around 1343 in London, the son of a wine merchant, and served three English kings with his pen and his wit. At just sixteen years old he was captured in France during a military campaign, and King Edward III personally paid his ransom. In an era when everyone wrote in Latin and French, he chose to write in vernacular English, inventing over 2,000 words that we still use today. He was the first in history to connect the 14th of February with romantic love — before him, Valentine’s Day was simply the feast day of a martyr saint. The father of English literature, the inventor of Valentine’s Day — and, strangely, the worst storyteller in his own book.
