In the Knight’s Tale‚ courtly love is a major element for the coherence of the story. In courtly love‚ the knight utilizes fundamental chivalric rules‚ but also has inner feelings that cannot be directly revealed‚ when dealing with the lady with whom he is infatuated; this is evident with Arcite and Palamon. However‚ the “Miller’s Tale” perverts the concept of courtly love. Instead we are shown the forthright and graphic sexual tendencies among non-aristocrats‚ in which courtly behavior is mocked.

In Marie de France’s Lanval‚ the main character is a man named Lanval who seems to be an all around honorable man. The story starts out with Lanval being part of King Arthur’s following. He is a prince from a far away kingdom‚ and so he is ostracized. Because of this‚ he tries his hardest to make friends with the knights- he is valiant‚ brave‚ generous‚ and everything a knight should be‚ but it is for this reason that they begin to dislike him (pg 1408‚ line 19).

Physical love and lusty temptation are too worldly for us. These would be the thoughts of any proper knight toward his lady. "The Miller’s Tale" is a satire of courtly love and its actuality
