He apparently had two sons and two daughters. Their names were Thomas Chaucer, Lewis Chaucer, Elizabeth Chaucer (Chaucy) and Agnes Chaucer.
As a result of the limited available evidence, any information with regard to Chaucer's descendants is not fully clear. We guess that he and his wife Philippa had no more than two sons and two daughters. One daughter, Elizabeth, became a nun, while her sister Agnes served as a lady-in-waiting in 1399 for the coronation of Henry IV. Of his two sons, Thomas Chaucer, a large landowner and political officeholder, died in 1400. Concerning Lewis, his youngest son, however, little is known.

In the Canterbury Tales a group of pilgrims are traveling to the shrine of St Thomas a Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The pilgrims decide that each of them will tell two stories on the way there, and two more on the way back - taking turns. Chaucer never completed his work, so most of the pilgrims tell only one tale - but we find out a lot about the sort of person telling the story by the kind of story they choose, and also by how they tell it.
