Poiteres 1356
1. What do you think of Sir William?
2. Geoffrey Chaucher, what did you think of his appearance in this book?
3. To protect his sister from his uncles advances, William goes to the church, and the monks actually take care of business. Is this realistic?
4. What do we think of the kids fighting every Sunday afternoon?
5. William's Uncle completely ruins his future. Why does William blame himself for his change in the fortune?
6. What do you think of William's new life as the cook's boy?
7. What did you think of De Vere's and William's swashbuckling?
8. Do the monks and priests in this book seem particularly violent?
9. War has started, so there's no "chivalry" as the army moves through France. Does this change how we feel about the men in this book?
10. What did you think of the way William handled the situation with Marie?
11. What do you think of the fact that they held a dinner for the lords, including the ones they just won a fight against?
12. What did you think of the strategy that the Prince was using against the French?
13. William spent a lot of his fight in the mud. Do you think this helped keep him alive?
14. Do you think that the fact that William keeps learning from each fight is what puts him above the rest of the squires?
15. If you were the one who had asked about this battle, would you be satisfied with the story William Gold told?
