Identify the character portrayed in these lines from “The General Prologue”: A lovere and a lusty bacheler, With lokkes crulle as they were laid in presse. Of twenty yeer of age he was, I gesse.

And he hadde been som time in chivachye In Flandres, in Artois, and Picardye, And born him wel as of so litel space, In hope to stonden in his lady grace. (lines 80–88)
