Ther nas discord, rancour, ne hevynesse
In al that land that she ne koude apese,
And wisely brynge hem alle in reste and ese.
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Clerk’s Tale. Griselda is not only a success as a wife for the Marquis, but he excels as a peacemaker. There was no discord, rancour or sadness in all the land that she could not appease and help bring rest and ease to.
