c. Geoffrey Chaucer
In the prologue he describes the following people: a knight, a squire, a servant, a nun, a monk, a friar, a merchant, a clerk, a judge, a franklin, a cook, a shipman, a wife, a doctor, a priest, and a plowman. He also lists tradesmen: a haberdasher, a weaver, a carpenter, a clothing dyer, and a tapestry maker. He speaks of six others including a miller, an overseer, two court officials, a pardoner, and himself (Geoffrey Chaucer). He also describes the host who comes up with the idea of everyone telling stories to help entertain on their journey. The host's name is Harry Bailly. Even though the narrator mentions himself in the list of pilgrims, he doesn't describe himself.
