Although many theories have been proposed, the exact origin of April Fools’ Day is not exactly known.

A disputed association between 1 April and foolishness is in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales (1392). In the “Nun’s Priest’s Tale”, a vain cock, Chauntecleer, is tricked by a fox “Since March began, full thirty days and two,” i.e. the 32nd day from 1 March, which is 1 April.
