The Physician's Tale

The Physician's Tale is about a knight named Virginius and his daughter, Virginia. (Interestingly, Virginius's wife isn't named, and apparently has almost no role in the story). Virginia is beautiful, with golden hair, and has excellent moral character. Throughout the medieval period and others in history, virginity was highly valued among young, unmarried women. In fact, losing virginity before marriage for any reason meant disaster for the reputation of a young lady. The choice of names for the father and daughter in ''The Physician's Tale'' are obvious signs of the importance of this fact in the story.

As the Physician explains, Virginia is virtuous not only because she is a virgin, but because she is also modest, sweet-tempered, and avoids wild parties involving alcohol. His tale also includes a side commentary urging governesses (women employed as tutors and guardians) to do everything they can to preserve the virtue of such young ladies. Because of her beauty and chaste character, Virginia soon becomes famous.
