The Millere was a stout carl for the nones;
Ful byg he was of brawn, and eek of bones.
That proved wel, for over al ther he cam,
At wrastlynge he wolde have alwey the ram.
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, General Prologue. The Miller is a big, strong, muscular fellow from the lower classes. But when it comes to wrestling he is in a class of his own and always takes the prize.
