He is the owner of the Tabard Inn in London, where the pilgrimage begins and he agrees to travel on the pilgrimage, and promises to judge both the tales the pilgrims tell, and disputes among the pilgrims. He discusses his marriage to his absent wife, Goodelief, when commenting on The Tale of Melibee with its message of patience .
