Thomas Wyatt the Elder was also suggested as the author of "The Pilgrim's Tale" in the sixteenth century, and five of the poems in "The Courte of Venus" are definitely his. Francis Thynne, adamant that "The Pilgrim's Tale" is Chaucer's, denied the Wyatt attribution in his "Animadversions upon the Annotations and Corrections of Some Imperfections of Impressions of Chaucer's Works..." and claimed that his father, William Thynne, prepared a printed version of Chaucer's works including "The Pilgrim's Tale", but Henry VIII would not extend his protection to it because of the reaction he expected it would elicit from the bishops. There is no other record of this Thynne edition; some scholars believe it never existed.
