Explanation:

Chaucer was a sympathizer with the ideology of John Wycliffe and the Lollards and therefore included a reference to them in his work. This was because it admired their ability not to care about reprisals to achieve their goals of making the church more pure, holy, balanced and correct.

In fact, many other social movements were referenced in Chaucer's work. This is because he understood how these movements move society and how important this is in faith and religiosity.
