Launfal

Launfal: An Ancient Metrical Romance: To Which Is Appended The Still Older Romance Of Lybeaus Disconus (1891) is a book written by Thomas Chestre. It is a collection of two ancient metrical romances, the first being Launfal and the second being Lybeaus Disconus. Launfal tells the story of a knight named Sir Launfal who falls in love with a fairy queen. The story follows their romance and the challenges they face as they try to be together. Lybeaus Disconus, on the other hand, is the story of a knight who is forced to flee his kingdom after being falsely accused of a crime. He travels to another kingdom where he falls in love with a princess and must prove his worth to win her hand in marriage. This book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval romance and the themes of love, honor, and chivalry that were prevalent during that time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
