The kingdom was having a celebration of the King's 20th anniversary of ruling, and a knight came and gave the king many gifts including a bronze horse that can teleport. The kingdom speculates that the knight is knight Gawain a night from King Arthur's round table. Gawain gives the kings daughter, Canace, a ring that allows her to speak to animals. The next day Canace is talking a walk and listening to what the birds are singing about. While she is on her walk she stumbles upon a hawk who has a broken wing. The hawk is also sad because she said "a lover left her for another", Canace is taking her back to the castle to repair her wing when the Franklin interrupts the squire.
