...Canterbury Tales, as well as the “Knight’s Tale” and the “Wife of Bath’s Tale,” Chaucer suggests that although chivalry was taught as an ideal, towards the end of feudalism, many knights turned to a more selfish lifestyle. During the Middle Ages, knights were expected to be chivalric and part of the feudal system.

Chaucer's marriage helped him gain his social status and allowed him to observe royalty and observe knights. Being able to observe...
