  Poet Laureate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 15th century, John Kay, also a "versifier", described himself as Edward IV's "humble poet laureate." The crown had shown its patronage in various ways; Chaucer had been given a pension and a perquisite of wine by Edward III, and Spenser a pension by Queen Elizabeth.
Geofrey Chaucer 1340-1400 was called Poet Laureate, being granted in 1389 an annual allowance of wine.
Hamilton classes Chaucer, Gower, Kay, Andrew Bernard, Skelton, Robert Whittington, Richard Edwards, Spenser and Samuel Daniel, as "volunteer Laureates".

 The Pearl Poet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Save for the latter (found in BL-MS Harley 2250), all of his works are known from the British Library holding Cotton Nero A x.
We know that the poet was a contemporary of Geofrey Chaucer's, and it is tantalizing to imagine that Chaucer is referring to the Pearl Poet when he says that he is incapable of writing interlocking lines the way others do.
However, the Pearl Poet never refers to contemporary scholarship, the way that Chaucer does, and shows much more of a tendency to refer to legendary materials from the past than any new learning, so it is impossible to place the poet at court, the universities, or monasteries.

Chaucer emphasized the Churchs corruption and greed, especially in Canterbury tales.
The monk in particular is described as man who "Did not care for that text plucked hen which says that hunters are not holy men, and that a monk, when he is heedless of duty, is like a fish out of water"(Chaucer 6).
Chaucer is implying that the monk would rather hunt than pray, which is odd for a man of the cloth and especially for one on a religious pilgrimage.

 The Canterbury Tales - Shop - madbad
The second part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life (beginning with The Decameron and ending with Arabian Nights), is based on the fourteenth century stories of Geoffrey Chaucer.
Plunging with gusto into some of the flest and bawdiest of the tales, Pasolini celebrates almost every conceivable form of sexual act with a rich, earthy humour and weaves a visual magic that draws on the work of artists such as Bruegel and Bosch.
A particular delight is the use of a largely British cast, including Hugh Griffith, Jenny Runacre and Tom Baker, while Pasolini himself takes the part of Chaucer.
