Inspired by "The Canterbury Tales," this is the story of
William, a young squire with a gift for jousting. After
his master dies suddenly, the squire hits the road with
his cohorts Roland and Wat. On the journey, they stumble
across an unknown writer, Chaucer. William, lacking a
proper pedigree, convinces Chaucer to forge genealogy
documents that will pass him off as a knight. With his
newly-minted history in hand, the young man sets out to
prove himself a worthy knight at the country's jousting
competition, and finds romance along the way.
