What is chaucer's yeoman's occupation?

Answer 1

The yeoman was a professional hunter, and the attendant to an official. He was a very robust, tan man, with closely cropped hair. He wore a green jacket with a hood, and had many hunting objects, such as his Dirk (a log dagger), a bow, peacock feathered arrows, a shield, sword, hunting horn, and a bladrick (a belt made to hold swords). He also wore a silver medal, the one of St.Christopher.

The Yeoman was one of the charectors that Chaucer did not talk poorly of, although he did not say many outstanding things about him, either.

Answer 2

The Yeoman does not play that important of a part in the tales because the narrator does not know him well. Chaucer does know that he accompanies the Knight and the Squire. He is dressed and equiped well because he is in company with such high ranking officials. Chaucer, the narrator, suggests that the Yeoman might be a forrester.

Answer 3

Chaucer's Yeoman is a forester, skilled in Archery and knowledgeable about hunting in the woods. He takes care of the yeoman's gear and equipment, serving as a kind of personal assistant.
