Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (for translation choose "edition",Modern English; you might read The Knight's Tale, The Summoner's Tale, The Pardoner's Tale, or for a real treat, The Wife of Bath's Tale, either way make your choice in the "tale" box)

Lanval, a medieval romance by Marie de France (translation from French); great twist on the traditional knight in shining armor/damsel in distress theme.
