Canterbury tales project help?

i have to research a pilgrim from the canterbury tales( I have to do the pardoner >_> ). The first thing i have to do is make 30 – 50 note cards with information about my pilgrim and this is what my english teacher said we have to do first.

Using the prologue description as a springboard, you will research the social, polotical, and historical context of one of the Chaucer’s pilgrims. [mines the pardoner] You will compile this research into neat, legible, fully documented note cards (30 – 50) (citations must accompany every note) from which you will later teach this information to the rest of the class in a presentation of at least 15 – 20 minutes’ duration.

so my question is are there any good books, or credible websites, that i could use to do this? I read the prologue and have gotten 3 cards from that >___< . they are not the greatest facts in my opinion so if you know some that are in the prologue feel free to say them!

this is the book i have.
