Title : Lancelot or The Knight of the Cart - Chrétien de Troyes - book
Summary :
Between 1176 and 1181, Chrétien wrote a novel about Lancelot du Lac. The Knight of the Cart burdens the most magnificent knight in Arthur's court with a contemptuous nickname, associating him with the cart of infamy reserved for assassins and thieves, which the hero nevertheless rides in order to find his beloved. What crime has he committed, what destiny is he heading towards, wonder the crowds encountered on the road to his humiliation? Like an ill omen, all these questions thus weigh, from his entry into our literature, on the heroic career of Lancelot du Lac, whom a mad and guilty love unites with Queen Guinevere, the wife of King Arthur, the one forbidden of all.
