“Three Blind Men Walk Into an Inn…” (and it just gets worse)
Update: 2025-05-04
Description
This fabliau has it all: trickery, fine dining, and a wildly escalating prank that ends with gospel readings, public humiliation, and a very confused innkeeper.
I give you Cortebarbe’s Li trois avugles de Compiègne (The three blind men of Compiègne).
Content note: includes period-typical ableism.
