Summary of the poem the oxford clerk by geoffrey chaucer

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct name of the poem is The Oxford Cleric's Tale. In this poem, a king named Walter did not wanted to marry but many Lords insisted him that it is good for his kingdom. So they fixed his marriage to a poor man's daughter, Griselda.

He decided one rule for her that she should obey him. When they had their first baby, he said his agent would take him. She didn't said anything.

When next boy was born, he told her to leave him. She didn't said anything. He told her that he will marry a new girl and will keep both of his children. She again didn't said anything.

He was obliged with Griselda's patience. He said he cannot find a woman like her in the whole world.
