The Roman van Ferguut (English: Romance of Fergus) is a 13th century Arthurian romance written in what is now called Middle Dutch. The first part of the Roman was translated fairly accurately from the Scottish French language work known as the Roman de Fergus, but the second part, possibly the work of another author, was much more loosely derived. The Roman van Ferguut today has wide fame as a Dutch classic, certainly more fame than the Roman de Fergus possesses in either Scotland or France. In 2000, it was translated into English by an American scholar.
