![]() ![]() The central character of Novel XI, titled “A Nasty Adventure which befell Madam De Roncex at the Franciscan Monastery of Thouars.” Her story is quite befitting the title and among the shortest of all the tales in the collection, having to do with a trip to the outhouse, confusion by a young attending woman whose head has been filled with stories of the sexual perversion of Franciscans and a misunderstanding that ultimately results in laughter by all. She is especially important among the narrators not so much because of the stories she tells, but because she is the character whom the author, Marguerite of Navarre avowed she should be most closely identified. She is also married to another of the narrator, Hircan, and the object of unrequited love by another, Somintault. Parlamente is one of the narrators of the various tales which comprised the volume. ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own. ![]() These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community. ![]()
