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.
