At the beginning of <em>The Pardoner's Tale </em>from Chaucer's <em>Canterbury Tales, </em>the three rioters can be found in a tavern drinking. The narrator of the tale, the Pardoner, condemns these three young men for leading such disgraceful lives, spending them drinking, gambling, swearing, etc.
When they hear their friend has been killed, they decide to go out and find Death, and have their revenge. That is the basic plot of this tale. The tale is quite ironic, given that the narrator is as vile as these three characters, yet fails to see the resemblance.

The beliefs, behaviour, culture are wrapped in these oral traditions which later would be transcribed into early American literature.
