| Summary: | In this Canterbury Tale, the Knight describes how sworn brothers, Palamon and Arcite, become rivals for the love of Emelye, whom they see out of their prision window. When out of prison, Emelye's uncle, Theseus, arranges a tournament to decide their quarrel. Arcite prays to Mars for victory, while Palamon prays to Venus for Emelye. Both requests are granted, as Arcite falls from his horse and dies after his victory and Palamon is later married to Emelye. |
