Arthurian romance, also known as the Matter of Britain, is a type of medieval romance that tells of British kings, knights, and ladies. Particularly distinctive subjects are King Arthur, Camelot, and the quest for the Holy Grail. In 1138, Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote in Latin a pseudo-historical account of British kings from the foundation of a New Troy in Britain up to Anglo-Saxon control of Britain in the seventh century. Following Geoffrey’s influential work were many Arthurian romances written in later twelfth and thirteenth century. Chrétien de Troyes late in the twelfth-century wrote French verse Arthurian romances, particularly Lancelot, that were interpreted to promoting men’s servitude to women in love (chivalric love / courtly love).
