Once upon a time there was a knight who attacked a lady. Then Arthur said that he must die, but the Queen and her ladies begged to give him his punishment. And what they offered was an answer instead of death. He should answer to: ‘What is that women most desire?’, so he went searching for it, and received many answers (they want to be rich, they want pleasure…) but not the correct one. After the year that he had, had past, he was going to the court when he found an old women. And she had the answer, ‘ What women most desire is having the power over their husband’ but she asked for a request, he must be her husband. So he gave the answer and unfortunately they became wife and husband. But at the end after an offer she made to him and that he left in her hands, she became beautiful, young, and a true wife.

The wife of bath’s tale
A lady of the court told the king that the knight had attacked her. King Arthur was very angry and he gave the power to let him live or die to the queen and her ladies. The Queen said to the knight that he will live only if he answers this question: What is it that women most desire? The knight had one year and a day to look the true answer. The last day the knight saw an old woman. She told him the true answer but he must do anything that she asks. The knight said to the queen and her ladies that woman desire to have power over their husbands. This was the true answer and he had married with the hag. He was very unhappy because his wife was old, ugly and poor. The wife give two choice to choose: had a true wife but old and ugly, or had a beautiful wife who cheats him. The knight gave the power to choose to his wife and she decided be the perfect love, a true give and the most beautiful woman.
