ROGER¹ of Ware or Hogge of Ware is the Cook on the pilgrimage. He seems to have been a historical person. E.D. Lyon points out that Roger, knight of Ware, was a plaintiff in a plea of debt in 1384-1385, and Edith Rickert shows that Roger Ware sold wood to the king's household (3 Henry IV).

The Cook's portrait appears in Gen Prol 379-387; his tale of Perkyn Revelour is unfinished. [Hogge of Ware: Perkyn Revelour]

The name appears three times medially, CoT 4345, 4353, 4356.
