It is an example of a fabileux tale. It shows the first estate way of wooing a woman. A comparable tale is that of the miller, which shows a third estate way of wooing a woman.

Do you mean in Chaucer's book, The Canterbury Tales? Because that is not a fabliau, it is a Romance of Chivalry. As a girl, I personally feel sorry for Emelye, but that's not what you asked. The theme is that Palamon and Arcite battle each other through rain and snow to win the fair Emelye's hand. (though she does not love either of them.) My very own words. I should know, too, because I just did a report on the Knight's Tale that was longer than the tale itself.

It is about a peasant that want to do battle in the games (jousting, swordsmanship, ext) But he is not aloud because he is not a knight.
He gets fake documents to say he is of Nobel birth to compete.
He does a great job and ears the respect of a prince who then knights him and his blind father is proud.
I love the movie
Oh ya he also falls in love with a princess
