The Sergeant of Law

- Likened to the merchant, the middle class rising
- Elite class of lawyers
- Possibly could have worked in Saint Paul's Cathedral 
- Given lots of ostentatious and lavish clothing by royalty 
      - Normally dressed formally
      - In red = powerful
- He was withdrawn and cautious - Why?
- A lot of people couldn't afford to keep such glamorous horses and livestock
- Un-trust worthy, or dubious because he isn't wearing his best clothes
- Chaucer's rhyming couplets and iambic pentameter really highlight the sergeant of the law's authority
