Chrétien de Troyes█

I wove the shimmering tapestry of Arthurian legend, setting knights and love upon the literary stage of France in tales such as Erec and Enide, Lancelot, and Perceval.

Ask me how chivalry contends with desire, or how the grail gleamed just out of reach, as lions, maidens, and riddles crossed the path of my verse.

In my rhymed stories, romance discovers both its peril and its nobility, a bright mirror for the quests of every wandering soul.
