In Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, the excerpt highlighting the contradiction regarding the prioress’s ability to speak fluent French states: "For French of Paris was not hers to know."

Chaucer critiques various social classes and professions in the General Prologue, starting with the upper tier down to the lower. He first introduces the Prioress, a nun, prompting the reader to question the commitment of higher clergy to a simple life. Consequently, Chaucer points out the hypocrisy within the church, as its members often came from affluent backgrounds. The prioress exploited the impoverished for her benefit, presenting herself as refined and fashionable. Known as "Madame Eglantyne," she was so ostentatious that her command of French was minimal.
