Chaucer is a thief. Night 152 of the Arabian Nights has a tale very similar to the Pardoner's Tale. He likely stole it.

the first tale of the Canterbury Tales is a ripoff of the Boccaccio's Teseida.

Some are his own creation but others like the Pardoner's tale and Merchant's tale are lifted directly from Arabic tales.

everyone used to steal everything and things were better because of it. nowadays you can't even use the same title, or use the same chord progression without getting sued.
