"Cliges: A Romance" by Chrétien de Troyes is a medieval romance written in the 12th century. The narrative revolves around the young and valiant character, Alexander, who leaves Greece to seek his destiny at King Arthur's court in Britain. Alongside themes of chivalry and adventure, the story delves into the complexities of love and loyalty, through the eyes of its characters, particularly Alexander and Soredamors. At the start of the tale, we meet Alexander, the son of a powerful emperor in Greece, with dreams of knighthood and adventure. He seeks his father's blessing to travel to Britain, where he aspires to be knighted by King Arthur. After a journey across the sea, Alexander arrives at Arthur's court, where his charm and gallantry quickly earn him the favor of the king and the admiration of the court. Unbeknownst to him, he becomes entwined in a complex love story with Soredamors, a woman who struggles with her own feelings for him. Their unspoken love leads to both joy and heartache, captured in moments of introspection and desire as the narrative unfolds. The beginning establishes a rich tapestry of courtly life, setting the stage for the conflicts and romantic entanglements that will drive the plot forward.
