Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Romances of Chivalry: Told and Illustrated in Fac-Simile To the general reader the Romances of Chivalry are very little known, some of them not at all; and the reason of this is, that no efforts have been made to popularize them. Originating, as they did, with the professional story-tellers of Norman times, they were, first of all, metrical histories of the deeds of heroes, like those which the Minstrel Taillefer sung at the Battle of Hastings, when he went before William, chanting of Charlemagne and Roland. Soon these were garnished with tales of love, and, after a time, imagination was called into play, and the Romance was written.
