Jaufry the Knight and the Fair Brunissende

When Taulat de Rugimon storms into King Arthur's court and stabs a knight before the king's very eyes, he shatters the peace of Camelot. No one moves. No one dares. But Jaufry, a young and ambitious knight with everything to prove, rises to pursue the villain across strange lands and avenge the insult to Arthur's throne. What follows is a winding quest through bizarre adventures and wondrous encounters that test Jaufry's courage, his resolve, and his very identity as a knight. Through forest and field, by cunning and by force, he tracks the murderer until at last justice is served and the fair Brunissende is won. This obscure gem of medieval romance, preserved in Occitan and translated through French into English, captures the raw thrill of Arthurian adventure before the legends grew too familiar. It is for readers who crave the original fire behind the tales: honor, pursuit, and love won through deeds.
