What are the typical elements in Medieval Valentine's Day short stories?

There was a young maiden in a medieval village. Every Valentine's Day, the village would hold a small fair. A local boy, who had a crush on her, spent weeks making a small wooden carving of a heart for her. When he gave it to her at the fair, she blushed and they became sweethearts. In medieval times, such simple yet sincere gestures were common during Valentine's Day.

One story is about the courtly love traditions. Knights would often dedicate their deeds to a lady. For example, a knight might go on a dangerous quest just to prove his love for a noblewoman. He would carry her token, like a handkerchief or a ribbon, into battle as a symbol of his devotion.

It usually involves expressions of love, like giving gifts, having romantic dates, and professing one's feelings to a significant other.
