Gui d'Excideuil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gui d'Excideuil is the hero of an Old French romance, written in the 12th century, whose text is now lost. His lover was a fairy, but he lost her (in an orchard, according to Raimbaut de Vaqueiras) because he began to think about the queen, who loved him unrequitedly. Many troubadours and other early authors mention the story, including Raimbaut de Vaqueiras (poem no. 14 in the Linskill edition).
