Basically, social advancement. They wanted to be called, ‘Madame.’ As their husbands succeeded financially, they could succeed socially.

Like their husbands, the wives are interested in social advancement, believing it “ful fair to been yclepyd ‘Madame” -The desire to be called “madame” Not only do the wives desire to be called by a title reserved for certain upper echelon members of society, but they also want their mantles royally (roialliche) carried as they go first into vigils.
