Literature of the Medieval World

People in Medieval Europe were very different in many ways in the aspect of literature. Many people in the Canterbury Tales had some different such as The Nun's Priest and the Second Nun. The author of The Canterbury Tales , Geoffrey Chaucer, wrote kind of different from our style of writing now. He wrote in medieval english. People in the stories were different from the real people from the Middle Ages. Knights in Literature today are not what they were like. The real Medieval knights were fighting a lot more than in stories.
