Chevalier Au Lyon [French, Old]

By Wilhelm Ludwig Holland

Chevalier Au Lyon, also known as Yvain, the Knight of the Lion, is a medieval romance written in Old French by Chr tien de Troyes in the late 12th century. This edition, edited by Wilhelm Ludwig Holland, presents the text in its original language. The story follows the adventures of Yvain, one of the Knights of the Round Table, as he seeks to regain his honor and prove his worth after breaking a promise to his wife.

Yvain's journey is filled with chivalrous deeds, including battling fearsome knights and befriending a loyal lion who becomes his companion. The romance explores themes of courtly love, chivalry, and the importance of keeping one's word. Chr tien de Troyes' masterful storytelling and vivid characters make Chevalier Au Lyon a cornerstone of Arthurian literature and a testament to the enduring appeal of medieval romance.
