Answer: marry the wife of Bath
Explanation:
The Host was a main character in The Canterbury Tales. He welcomed the piligrims and gave them food and drink. The host proposed a contest to keep everyone entertained during the journey. It was a story telling contest and the reward for the winner was a meal paid by the rest of the contestants.
