The job of a medieval friar was to live not under a roof, but out in the open. They would beg for certain things as well since they weren't rich. In the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer portrays a friar as someone who tries to catch the summoner taking peoples money that is supposed to go to the church. Chaucer has a BIAS against Friar's in the actual middle ages.

A friar was a sort of monk whose work was in a secular community rather than in a monastery. Friars did all sorts of things to serve the needs of the community, including preaching, teaching, tending the sick, and saying prayers for special occasions.
