The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century. It consists of a frame story, in which a group of pilgrims travel together on a journey from Southwark to Canterbury, England, and tell each other stories to pass the time. The pilgrims come from a variety of social backgrounds, including a knight, a monk, a nun, a miller, a pardoner, a summoner, a physician, and a clerk, among others.

There is no evidence to suggest that any particular group of people was not represented in the Canterbury Tales. Chaucer's stories depict a diverse range of characters from various social classes and professions, and the tales themselves cover a wide range of themes and subjects.

It is worth noting, however, that the Canterbury Tales is a work of fiction and that the characters and stories depicted in it are not intended to be representative of real people or events. Chaucer's goal in writing the Canterbury Tales was to entertain and amuse his readers, not to provide a comprehensive or accurate depiction of medieval society.
