Research from 2022 (-5[1])disputes (15[1])the view, based (15[1])on a deed of release, that this author raped Cecily (15[1])Chaumpaigne. (15[1])When a woman created by this author (*) tears pages from her husband’s “book of wicked wives,” (10[2]-5[1])he (10[1])hits her on (10[1])the head, (10[1])leaving her deaf in one ear. (10[2])A character created by this author meets an old woman who makes (10[1])him grant her any favor she wants, and who turns young after marrying him, (-5[1])when he is given a year to learn what women (10[2])want most.
