Final answer:
Saturn in 'The Knight's Tale' resolves the conflict between Mars and Venus by allowing Arcite to win the battle but die from an injury, subsequently enabling Palamon to marry Emelye.
Step-by-step explanation:
In The Knight's Tale from Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, Saturn finds a way to please both Mars and Venus, who had conflicting desires for the fate of two knights, Palamon and Arcite, both in love with the same woman, Emelye. Mars wanted Arcite to win the battle for Emelye's love, while Venus wanted Palamon to win her hand. Saturn, intending to please both gods, devised a plan where Arcite would win the battle but die shortly after, allowing Palamon to marry Emelye. Despite Arcite's victory in the tournament, he is fatally injured when an earthquake, sent by Saturn, causes his horse to throw him. Thus, Venus's wish is also fulfilled as Palamon eventually marries Emelye.
