French author Chretien de Troyes is now firmly estabished as the most important vernacular writer of the 12th-century renaissance.

His works include the earliest known Arthurian romance; the earliest & most sustained commentary on the Legend of Tristan & Iseut; the earliest known version of the story of Lancelot & Guinevere; & the earliest known romance about the Grail.
