Summary "Morien: A Metrical Romance Rendered into English Prose From The Mediæval Dutch" by Jessie L. Weston is a prose retelling of a medieval Dutch metrical romance, likely composed in the early 14th century. This work forms part of the larger corpus of Arthurian tales and centers around the character of Morien, a knight of Moorish descent, exploring themes of identity, legacy, and chivalric adventure in the context of the Arthurian legend. The opening of the romance introduces a wounded knight who enters King Arthur's court, seeking audience despite his grievous injuries. Sir Gawain, known for his courtesy, tends to the knight and learns that he has encountered Perceval, another prominent knight, while searching for Sir Agloval, Morien’s father. As Gawain and Lancelot prepare to seek out Perceval, the narrative unfolds to reveal Morien's quest to find his father, juxtaposed with Gawain's own trials and eventual entrapment at the hands of enemies seeking vengeance. The interaction between the characters sets the stage for a series of adventures filled with combat, loyalty, and the quest for honor. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
