WHAT DID THIS TALE DO

• Teaches a lesson on how we should treat others and love.
• I believe this to be a romance.

A "QUICK" SUMMARY

• Averagus goes to England for war, leaving Dorigen behind.
• Dorigen fears Averagus may not return safe due to the rocks blocking the coast

A "QUICK" SUMMARY (CONT.)

• Dorigen befriends Aurelius at a party and Aurelius falls in love
• Dorigen promises she will love Aurelius if he can move the rocks to ensure a safe return for her husband.

A "QUICK" SUMMARY (CONT.)

• Aurelius meets with a wizard of sorts and makes a deal with him to move the rocks from the coast for $1000.
• Aurelius shows Dorigen that the rocks have been moved.
• Seeing this act of true love, Aurelius makes it so Dorigen doesn't have to go through with her "promise".
• The wizard, seeing this act also makes it so Aurelius does not have the $1000 dollar debt to him.
