A Medieval Guide to Cheating Gracefully

A young wife meets her priest in the bushes. Her husband finds the bed empty. What follows is a knife, a near-confession, and a last-minute excuse involving fertility rituals, apostolic dirt, and walking barefoot around a church at midnight.

La damme qui fist .iii. tors entor le moustier (Thrice Around the Church) is a fabliau about adultery, audacity, and the spiritual power of thinking fast.
