The classic example of a senex amans is Januarie (January) in the "Merchant's Tale" (part of the Canterbury Tales). [1] He is 60 years old (which given the life expectancy was a very advanced age) and he marries a young girl (under 18) named May, who later cuckolds him by entering into a secret relationship with January's squire, Damyan (Damian).
One question that splits critics is whether the Merchant's tale is a fabliau. [citation needed] Typically a description for a tale of carnal lust and frivolous bed-hopping, some would argue that especially the latter half of the tale, where Damyan and May have sex in the tree with the blind Januarie at the foot of the tree, represents fabliau.
