A knight so dim he didn’t know where to put it. A mother-in-law who steps in to help. Two houseguests who suffer... a lot. And one red-hot awl that should’ve stayed in the drawer.

Le sot chevalier (The stupid knight) is a fabliau about sex, stupidity, and why medieval hospitality was a high-risk activity.
