The Knight

The Squire

Courtly Love

Stories of Courtly Love were inspired by French Troubadours.

They were a backlash to Beowulf and a result of a time of short-lived peace in England and France after the Dark Ages. The church, of course, objected to its principals and existence. Too much emphasis on earthly love Too strong a female role

Love is like a sickness, with symptoms like sleeplessness, paleness, lack of hunger, etc Knight serves his lady with the same dedication which he serves his king Knight’s love inspires him to do great deeds to win the love of his lady Lady is usually in control of the relationship Usually not between a husband and wife Courtly Love Code of Conduct

The Prioress

The Friar

The Monk

The Wife of Bath
