Which character in this group of pilgrims appears the most disgusting?
The female pilgrims who traveled to America in the early 17th century are commonly referred to as "Pilgrim women." They were part of the larger group of English settlers known as the Pilgrims, who sought religious freedom in the New World. Notable among them were women like Mary Brewster and Elizabeth Winslow, who played crucial roles in the establishment of Plymouth Colony alongside their male counterparts.
Pilgrims (or Pilgrim Fathers) were a group of English Protestants who fled England for Holland in the late 16th century in order to achieve greater religious freedom. In 1617 the Pilgrims began looking to leave Holland and settle in the New World. In 1620, the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and established the second successful English settlement in the New World (Jamestown in Virginia being the first, having been established in 1607).

The word pilgrims is a plural, common noun; a word for any pilgrim anywhere.A proper noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or a title; for example:Pilgrims Society of London and New YorkLittle Pilgrims Preschool, Pilgrim Lutheran Church, Cincinnati, OHPilgrims Knob, VA (population 479)Pilgrim's Cafe, Appleton, WI'The Pilgrim's Progress' by John BunyanThe noun pilgrims is capitalized only when it is used as a proper noun.
The Pilgrim Fathers originated from England and later settled in the Netherlands before ultimately sailing to North America on the Mayflower in 1620. They sought religious freedom and the ability to practice their beliefs away from the constraints imposed by the Church of England.
Each pilgrim will tell two tales on the way to Canterbury, and two more on the road home. Chaucer never finished his poem - so in the fragments we have no pilgrim tells more than one tale (and some never get to speak at all).
'Pilgrim(s)' are a person or a group of people who are making a journey somewhere for religious purposes. The 'pilgrimage' refers to the journey they make. For Muslims the 'pilgrimage' would be the Hajj and the 'pilgrims' would be those Muslims making the Hajj that year. For Christians the 'pilgrimage' may be a trip to the Holy Land (Jerusalem) and the 'pilgrims' are the people making the visit.

You're a bit off; not all of the English settlers were Pilgrims. In the 17th century, some religious groups, such as the Pilgrims and the Puritans, felt a strong animosity toward the Church of England. After the English Reformation, the Pilgrims and Puritans felt that the Church of England did not uphold the structure and decorum of the fundamental Christian Church. The Pilgrims were a religious group much like the Puritans. The only difference between the groups was that while the Puritans maintained their membership in and allegiance to the Church of England, the Pilgrims felt that their differences with the Church of England were irreconcilable. But in most basic terms, a pilgrim is one who undertakes a religious journey. The Pilgrims of the 17th century searched for and found a new religious beginning in America.
In "The Canterbury Tales," Chaucer the pilgrim serves as the narrator and observer of the other pilgrims. He provides insight into their personalities, behaviors, and attitudes through his detailed descriptions and interactions. Chaucer also uses his character to comment on social issues and satirize the medieval society of his time.
The Pilgrims were a group of religious separatists who left England seeking religious freedom and a means of maintaining a distinct communal identity. It was the Pilgrims (literally meaning travelers) who landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts, and began the European settlement of that region of what is now the United States. They are called the Pilgrim Fathers because they were the parents (biologically at first but later only in a general historical sense) of most of the population who came to live in that region.
The Mayflower was a Pilgrim ship that sailed from Plymouth, England, to the New World, specifically to what is now Massachusetts, in 1620. It carried a group of English Puritans, known as the Pilgrims, who sought religious freedom and a new life in America. The ship famously landed at Plymouth Rock, where they established the Plymouth Colony.
The premise of The Canterbury Tales is a group of pilgrims traveling to the shrine of Thomas Becket in Canterbury, England. To pass the time, each pilgrim tells a tale, resulting in a collection of stories that range from comedic to moralistic, providing insight into medieval society.
