What characters in The Canterbury Tales did Chaucer admire the most?

Author Geoffrey Chaucer seemed to favor The Knight in his Canterbury Tales. He has fought valiantly in many battles, has never spoken a harsh Word to anyone, and the narrator seems to speak of him without a hint of sarcasm or criticism.

The Parson also appears to be well-liked by the narrator. He practices what he preaches, lives the Gospel, and sets a prime example for all of his parishioners. He sacrifices his own comfort for the sake of others, and displays exactly what a religious figure ought to be, in contrast with the Monk and the Prioress.
