King Arthur Arthurian Adventure Guinevere Merlin ... ArthurianAdventure.com Chrétien de Troyes Chrétien de Troyes , who lived in the 12th Century AD, and appears to have died in 1183, is an important link in the development of the Arthurian story we are aware of today. His works enjoyed great popularity throughout Medieval Europe. His great works Yvain et Lancelot Le Chevalier de la Charrete Erec et Enide (c.1160), Cliges (c.1164), Perceval, ou Le Conte du Graal (c.1180) introduced many new themes not before present in the Arthurian legends. In particular, the Holy Grail became central to the story, and the character of Lancelot did not appear in Arthurian romance until Chrétien de Troyes. In fact, the emergence of the Romance, and of courtly love, gave Lancelot and his love for Guinevere a prominent role in the tales that followed after Chrétien. As the Arthurian stories began to concentrate on these Christian ideals, the role of the Grail moved to the heart of the story. With the Vulgate Cycle (c.1215-1235) the two characters of Lancelot and Guinevere became inseparable from the legend, and the tragedy of the love triangle, adapted from the early matter to include Lancelot and courtly love, took on its popular form.

Continuations : This work breaks off in mid-sentence possibly due to the death of the author. Many authors attempted to complete and extend the work, the so-called Continuations. "The most common pattern, found in six manuscripts, is to have Chrétien's The Story of the Grail followed by the First Continuation (also known as Pseudo-Wauchier or Gawain Continuation [late 12th Century]), the Second Continuation (also called the Wauchier de Denain Continuation or Perceval Continuation [last decade of 12th Century]), and the

6. Chretien De Troyes Chretien de Troyes and King Arthur Legend Chretien de Troyes was a French poet, and he was the first great exponent of the romanticisation of Arthurian legend. http://www.legendofkingarthur.co.uk/literature/chretien-de-troyes.htm

Chretien de Troyes Chretien de Troyes was a French poet, and he was the first great exponent of the romanticisation of Arthurian legend. Geoffrey of Monmouth, writing around 1130 with History of the Kings of Britain, introduced the first literary creation of the character, King Arthur. Wace introduced the idea of courtly love. Chretien de Troyes built and expanded on this base. Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote about the conception and birth of Arthur at Tintagel and Arthur's marriage to Guinevere (he calls her Ganhumara). Wace created the Round Table and Excalibur. Chretien de Troyes is the man that created Camelot, Lancelot, and the Holy Grail. Although Chretien de Troyes did not describe a grail as a chalice, he appears to have used the word in the meaning of a flat serving dish. The current description of the Grail as a cup came later from by Robert de Boron Chretien de Troyes translated Ovid's Art of Love and a version of the Tristan legend. He then turned to the Arthurian theme with Erec, about an Arthurian knight who is put to various trials to claim the love of Enide. Arthur is said to have his court at Cardigan. Guinevere, Kay, Gawain and Lancelot is mentioned. The court of Arthur is portrayed as a romantic, chivilrous place. The next romance by Chretien de Troyes is Cliges, which again takes place round Arthur's court. The main character, Cliges loves Fenice. But Fenice marries Clige's uncle, the emperor of Constantinople. Magic potions with various powers pepper the story.

Here are Chrétien's introductory paragraph, plus three episodes from Lancelot's journey to rescue the kidnapped Queen Guinevere. His journey produced many trials which showed the strength of his love, and his willingness to suffer for Guinevere's sake. Chrétien's Introductory paragraph Lancelot and another woman! Lancelot came upon a (nameless) damsel who knew what had happened to the Queen, what road to take to find her, and something about the hazards along the way. The damsel herself turned out to be a formidable test of Lancelot's love for the Queen The Sword Bridge Here was one of many physical obstacles in Lancelot's path. Lancelot and Guinevere The end of the quest, or the beginning of the trouble? (Vv. 4441-4530.) ...and the Queen yearns ardently for the arrival of her lover and her joy. She has no desire this time to bear him any grudge. But rumour, which never rests but runs always unceasingly, again reaches the Queen to the effect that Lancelot would have killed himself for her sake, if he had had the chance. She is happy at the thought that this is true, but she would not have had it happen so for anything, for her sorrow would have been too great. Thereupon Lancelot arrived in haste. (22)

Not only did each of our poet's works undergo copying throughout the 13th century (all eight manuscripts of the Charrette were produced in that century), they were each subject to myriad reworkings, in verse and, especially, in prose. Perceval underwent a number of "continuations" and inspired many textual "spin-offs" before the Grail story it told came to be incorporated into the vast Prose Lancelot (along with the Charrette oeuvre was fully integrated into the system of textual references and allusions underlying many important 13th-century textsa series of "epigonal romances" (e.g.

Lancelot, or The Knight of the Cart by Chretien de Troyes [Sir Gawain, Arthur's nephew, tells King Arthur that he has done a very foolish thing in allowing Sir Kay to be the Queen's defender. Sir Gawain then goes after the Queen himself. As he searches for her, he meets a mysterious knight who is riding a fine but exhausted horse. The unknown knight takes one of Gawain's spare horses and rides off, with Gawain following. After some distance, Gawain finds his horse dead of exhaustion, having been ridden to death, and continues on until he finds the knight again on foot. The knight is standing next to a cart.] [The damsel tells the knights the fate of the Queen: : "In truth, my lords, Meleagant, a tall and powerful knight, son of the King of Gorre, has taken her off into the kingdom whence no foreigner returns, but where he must perforce remain in servitude and banishment." The damsel also tells the knights that there are only two ways to enter Melagant's country: an underwater bridge and a sword bridge. Gawain chooses to cross by the underwater bridge. The knights separate. The mysterious knight comes to a castle and is welcomed by a damsel who is its mistress.] Lancelot leaves the damsel and has many adventures on his way to Meleagant's kingdom. Eventually he reaches the Sword Bridge, one of the two ways to enter Meleagant's kingdom.]
