Canterbury Tales

I need help with a few of the characters.
I need to find the reason of why the following characters are heading to the Canterbury cathedral.

Monk
Friar
Merchant
Oxford Cleric
Serjeant at the Law
Franklin.

I got the rest...Please help? :]

help? anyone?

I'm sure a quick punch into Google would yield results.

They are all going there for a pilgrimage, aren't they? 'For holy blissful martyr there to seeke' (or something like that). Some of them are positive, nice and sincere characters like the Oxford Cleric, others not so.
