About this book
Guingamor, Lanval, Tyolet, Bisclaveret by Marie de France presents four lais rendered into English prose. The discussion describes fairy maidens, generally speaking, as immortals seeking mortal love, and traces parallels with Celtic tradition preserved in ancient Irish romance. The discussion connects the fairy stories of Guingamor and Lanval with the Arthurian cycle and describes their heroes as knights of Arthur's court.
The barons delay their verdict while two noble maidens descend the street, wearing robes embroidered with gold and riding Spanish mules. Gawain and six companions seek Launfal and urge him to take courage, believing that one of the arriving damsels must be his lady.
