The Canterbury Tales begins with Chaucer introducing the pilgrims traveling to Canterbury, including knights, clergymen, and tradesmen. They decide to tell stories on their journey to pass the time. The Knight tells the first tale, about two knights who fall in love with the same woman. Their fight is stopped by King Theseus, who sets a duel between them for the woman's hand.
