One of Chaucer's pilgrims (5)
I believe the answer is:
reeve
'one of chaucer's pilgrims' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for reeve that I've seen before include "Feudal official of medieval England" , "Someone with a tale" , "One of Chaucer's tale-tellers" , "Old judge" , "Bird - female of the ruff" .)
