A novel by Maria Edgeworth contrasts Emma Granby with a "modern" example of this character. Another work describes how she attends to her father Janicula's sheep before being made to strip and dress for her wedding by a group of handmaidens. Her infant daughter is kidnapped and taken to live with Panago several years before she bears a son, who is similarly taken to Bologna. The last story in the Decameron describes the travails of this character, who is told by her husband that he is asking for Papal support for a divorce. She is eventually reunited with her children as a reward for her unquestioning obedience to her husband Walter's tests. For 10 points, name this subject of Chaucer's Clerk's Tale, a woman renowned for her patience.
