Squire-There is a celebration feast for the king, and a knight brings King Cambinskan four gifts: A steed of brass,a mirror,a golden ring and sword. Canace, the princess, talks to a bird whose heart is broken because her lover has left her for another bird (kite).
In an attempt to keep her chastity, Cecilia sends her husband, Valerian, and his brother to be baptized by Pope Urban; however, they are caught by Almachius and are beheaded. Cecilia is also sentenced to death for promoting Christianity amongst Romans, but she miraculously lives through being boiled and then dies three days after an executioner attempts to behead her.
The Reeves Tale-is about Miller; in an attempt to fool the two clerks that hired him, he himself was made a fool, when the clerks violated his virtuous daughter and his wife in the same room he slept. Beat him up. Then made off with the grain the miller stole.
The manciple- When Pheobus hears that his wife cheated on him (through the gossiping of his white crow), Pheobus hastily kills his wife then blames the crow and curses him with black feathers and takes away his beautiful singing voice.
