What type of satire does Chaucer use?

Chaucer was a major satirist. In the beginning of Canterbury Tales Chaucer uses satire in every description of his character. To name some examples, the Prioress, she was a woman of the church, she was supposed to be humbled yet when she ate she ate like a courtier, very daintily using her finger tips to eat her meat and being very careful not to spill a drop of broth on herself. Her rosary was extremely gaudy, and she was said to be beautiful but Chaucer describes her forehead to be "a span" that's a nine inch forehead. Through the prioress and other members of the church Chaucer is portraying the Churches character and how the people in it are more engrossed with themselves then they are focused and humbled before God like their vows had them promise to be. Another person is the cook, he's a good cook and good at what he does but he has an open sore on his leg. That's gross, you don't want a cook that has a sore to be cooking your food. There's a scholar in the beginning as well i don't remember exactly what he's called but he's really skinny and has no money to eat and that's because he spends all his money educating himself. Education you would think would be something that would help bring in money and provide him with food yet his education is the reason for hunger. Those are just funny satirical examples from the very beginning of the book their are other ones throughout the whole of his stories though not all the stories are finished because he died before he could finish the book.
