That in his owene grece I made hym frye
For angre, and for verray jalousye.
By God, in erthe I was his purgatorie,
For which I hope his soule be in glorie.
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath’s Prologue. Hating the fact that her fourth husband had a mistress, the Wife of Bath made him fry in his own grease, as she puts it. She punished him by making him believe she was unfaithful to him. She claimed that she was his Purgatory on earth, so she hoped that he bypassed it in the afterlife and went straight to heaven.
