Durante las peregrinaciones a Canterbury, para venerar los restos de Tomás Becket, se reúnen en una taberna personajes de lo más variopinto que relatan cuentos muy entretenidos.

Aparecen además, mezcladas entre ellos, interesantes conversaciones que versan sobre astronomía, medicina, alquimia. Trata también esta obra de la relación hombre-mujer, mostrándola en sus diferentes facetas: desde la castidad y la absoluta fidelidad, mutua hasta el adulterio. Entre los cuentos podemos destacar: el cuento del caballero, el del molinero, el del mayordomo, el del cocinero, el del monje, el del capellán de las monjas, el del doctor en medicina, el del fraile, el del alguacil, el del estudiante, y el del mercader.

Entró en palacio como paje, por lo que tomó parte en una campaña militar en Francia y, posteriormente llegó a casarse con una dama de compañía de la reina.
