- Description
- Processions and spectacles were attempts to contain rivalries between and within the official and unofficial hierarchies of late medieval London (city and crown, wards, crafts, and trades). Recurrently depicting a stable city, Chaucer also depicts urban tensions at times: in the House of Rumor of HF, the description of the Guildsmen in GP, and CkT.
