Chaucer's Knight's Tale

I just finished "The Knight's Tale" by Chaucer and the Old English was hard to read, but with a companion book I really understood the story. It is a sad story kind of, one of the knight's that is in love with Emily gets to be with her at the expense of his cousin. One part I wasn't really clear on was if Emily really wanted to be with one of the knight's and if not then why does she agree to marry one of them is it just because her brother-in-law said so, but she doesn't get to marry the one who actually wins. I enjoyed the story and how descriptive Chaucer is when describing the celebration before the battle. Here is a web page with links and more information on Chaucer.
