Haha - Chanticleer in Chaucer’s Nun ‘s Priest’s Tale is a proud rooster who is caught by the fox but manages to turn the table on the equally proud fox and escape.
The tale is characterised by the way that the Nun’s Priest elaborates his slender tale with epic parallels drawn from ancient history and chivalry, giving a display of learning which, in the context of the story and its cast, can only be comic and ironic. But in contrast, the description of the poor widow and the chicken yard of her country cottage with which the tale opens is true to life and has been quoted as authentic in discussions of the living conditions of the mediaeval peasant.
