Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Collection of Early Prose Romances, Vol. 3 The History of Helias Knight of the Swan as related in the following pages is an old English version of a very early and very popular Romance. - It is supposed by Mr. Palgrave that the most ancient form in which the story exists is in the "Chronicle of Tongres" by the "Maitre de Guise" much of which was afterwards incorporated into the "Mer des Hystoirea." There is also an Icelandic Saga of Helis the Knight of the Swan who is there represented as a Son of Julius Cæsar, and a similar legend is introduced into the German Romance of "Lohengrin" of which an edition was printed at Heidelberg so late as 1813. The tradition that the celebrated Godfrey of Boulogne was lineally descended from the Knight of the Swan is still current in the Duchy of Cleves, and forms one of the most interesting stories in Otmar´s Volksagen.
