The Prioress is a sentimental women of God who lets her tears run freely for any events of death--even the small ones. She is weak and does not have much self-control over her emotions. She attempts to give off a refined impression of herself, but all the while she is crude. She tells a gruesome tale about Jews who murder a youngboy for singing about his Christian faith. [1]


Here, the Prioress is depicted riding a horse. (2)

THis is a picture of the nun from Canterbury tales(3)
