When a young man falls in love with a newlywed, he hires a crafty old neighbor named Auberée to help. What follows includes a planted surcoat, a fake miracle, and one of the most elaborately staged reconciliations in medieval literature.

Auberée is a fabliau about lust, lies, logistics—and how to play everyone in town without ever breaking a sweat.
