Pierce the Ploughman's Crede is a medieval alliterative poem of 855 lines,lampooning the four orders of friars.
There are two pseudo-Chaucerian texts called "The Plowman's Tale".
The Piers Plowman tradition is made up of about 14 different poetic and prose works from about the time of John Ball and the Peasants Revolt of 1381 through the reign of Elizabeth I and beyond. All the works feature one or more characters,typically Piers,from William Langland's poem Piers Plowman. Because the Plowman appears in the General Prologue to The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer but does not have his own tale,plowman tales are sometimes used as additions to The Canterbury Tales,or otherwise conflated or associated with Chaucer.
