Help[Opinions] From "The Miller's Tale"
in reply to a message by queenv
Alisoun is the spelling used in Chaucer's "The Miller's Tale".
But it was only "a" medieval spelling, not "the" medieval spelling. Spelling was not set back then, and the same person would spell his or her own names multiple ways, often in the very same document. :)
