List the members of the clergy in The Canterbury Tales.

In "The Canterbury Tales," by Geoffrey Chaucer, a large group of twenty-nine travelers is headed to Canterbury on a pilgrimage.  They intend to worship at the shrine of Saint Thomas a Becket.  Most of them are members of the middle class, but there are also some nobles, some clergy, and a few peasants.


There are ten members of the clergy included in the group.  They include


  1. The Prioress

  2. The Monk

  3. The Friar

  4. The Nun

  5. The Priest

  6. The Cleric

  7. The Parson

  8. The Summoner

  9. The Pardoner

  10. The Canon
