Explain how Geoffrey Chaucer came to write his Canterbury Tales.

When Chaucer sat down to write out the tales in the 1380s, he had already encountered a broad swath of medieval society. Born in London around 1343, he gained experience in all sorts of settings: from his upbringing in a family of wine merchants, to his first job working as a page in a noble household. He fought in the Hundred Years' War, was held captive and ransomed by the King, and served as a squire for a time in the royal court. He later became a diplomat and traveled widely through France, Spain, and Italy, learning about literature and politics along the way.

In the 1380s Chaucer moved to the county of Kent on the southern coast, home to the town of Canterbury and its famous Cathedral, and began work on his Tales.There he attained the role of Knight of the Shire for the Kent Parliament. During his time living in Kent, he would have come across the many travelers who made their annual pilgrimage to the shrine of Thomas Becket (St. Thomas of Canterbury).
