Summary

"Morien: A Metrical Romance Rendered into English Prose From The Mediæval Dutch" by Jessie L. Weston is a journey into Arthurian legend through a retelling of a medieval Dutch story. The tale begins with a wounded knight's arrival at King Arthur's court, urgently needing to speak with the king. Sir Gawain, a kind and well-mannered knight, helps the injured man and learns that he saw Sir Perceval searching for Sir Agloval, who is Morien’s father. As Gawain and Lancelot get ready to find Perceval, Morien's own adventure to find his father unfolds, along with Gawain's challenges and capture by vengeful enemies. This sets the scene for a series of adventures that show courage, loyalty, fighting, and the search for honor in the backdrop of Arthurian times.
