Chaucer chooses to show Custance’s devotion to God through a journey of great struggle; she faces multiple near- death experiences and never wavers in her faith, ultimately putting her life in God’s hands. He writes her this way because Chaucer wanted to highlight the power of religion and believing in an all-knowing creator. In reading Medieval Philosophy by Foltz and The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer, I first noticed that in “the Man of Law’s Tale” that Custance is forced into being wed to a man she does not know and inherently afraid of. Because of this uncertainty, Custance is immediately sent on a journey by ship as a result of being arranged to marry Sultan and bearing his child. She takes this journey alone through harsh conditions such as wind and violent weather, difficulty navigating her ship, finding herself in completely foreign locations and encountering dangerous strangers. In one instance, Custance found herself in a particularly large amount of danger as she was being framed for the murder of Alla’s wife, Hermengild. Though this was the doing of Donegild, he placed the murder weapon in her hand as she slept, and the next morning was found holding it. She is rushed with Donegild and told that if she is guilty she will be slain (Chaucer 600-637). Custance personally prayed to God that He would see her as an innocent person since she was, and believed that the grace of God would save her from such an awful, wrongful death. The acts Donegid framed her for sommitting did not happen by her hand, and she was determind for that to come into light. She knew that she was honest and kind and that God saw her for the virtues she possessed, and ultimately she is spared and Donegild is discovered to be lying about his crime. Donegild is killed and “…thus has Christ made Custance a queen”(Chaucer 693). These beliefs of God as the almighty creator and possessor of truth is also explained in Medieval Philosophy. Foltz writes that “in the fear that human reasonings may make you wander from the truth, Moses has anticipated an engraving in our hearts, as a seal and a safeguard, the sacred name of God”(Foltz 123). This quote ties in to Custances situation, because those who believed Donegild’s framing of Custance were eventually swayed into believing Custance’s truth when she swore on the English bible. She swore through God her honesty, which then Donegild was not able to do. Ultimately, God’s grace was what saved Custance’s life.
