faith at Tramissene. He always killed his men. He possessed fine
horses. He never yet a boorish thing had said in all his life to any,
come what might. He makes sure he does his pilgrimage deeds in his
render thanks.
They were both so different. One was a noble pillar and beggar
and one was a knight and had a son. In Chaucer’s eyes, “the Knight
is the noblest of the pilgrims, embodying military prowess, loyalty,
honor, generosity, and good manners.”
