Actually, the Canon's Yoeman is not the same character as the yoeman in the General Prologue (the Knight's Yoeman). The Canon and his yoeman join the pilgrimage after the General Prologue (see Canon's Yoeman's Prologue). The yoeman in the General Prologue does not have a tale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fvillion (talk • contribs) 16:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is an important distinction to make, as it has implications for approaching the situational irony throughout the tales. Mostly, I am stating that Chaucer being the narrator of the tales in general is NOT a 100% certain fact and that their are two sides to the debate.
