In Filostrato’s fourth tale (IV, 9), Roussillon’s Wife follows the dictates of fin’amors when she falls in love with her husband’s best friend, Guillaume de Cabestanh, because of his gallantry and nobility. When she discovers that Guillaume de Roussillon has murdered her lover and fed her his heart, she breaks from the feminine stereotypes in The Decameron and demonstrates a similar level of virile self-control to Ghismonda (IV, 1). She calmly rebukes her husband for his cruelty, then takes her life by throwing herself from a window. After her death, she’s buried with her lover in a shared tomb.
