Man Of Law

(Really a judge, not a lawyer)
-He's very smart, can name every statute
-Dressed elaborately and colorfully (which is slightly hypocritical since he preaches good values especially in the intro to his prologue)
-Doesn't really know how to ride his horse
-Chaucer thinks he puts on a front of being overlybusy to conceal his laziness

Man of Law's tale (it's rediculous.)

Emperor of rome has a pretty daughter, Constance. Syrian merchants tell their Sultan about her and she wants to marry her, so he converts from muslim to christianity to be able to. the sultana doesn't like this and kills everyone at the celebration dinner except Constance who she sends on a boat. Eventually she arrives at northcumberland where she is framed for murder, exhalted, and married to alla. Alla's mother messes with their relationship and 'exhiles' constance and their son who returns to rome. Alla comes home and kills his mother and goes to find Constance (who is at a roman senators house) Alla meets the senator and reunites with his family. (Constance has great faith all through this)
