Les Romans de la Table Ronde (4/ 5)

In the timeless realm of the Round Table, Sir Lancelot wrestles with a deep melancholy that haunts him whenever he is apart from his beloved queen. His loyal friend Galehaut, sensing the knight’s sorrow, devises a discreet plan: a trusted messenger, Lionel, will slip a covert note to the court, hoping the queen’s presence might lift Lancelot’s spirits. The intrigue is wrapped in secrecy, for any careless whisper could spark disaster in Arthur’s kingdom.

Meanwhile, Sir Gawain embarks on his own quest, crossing the legendary Seven Ways and meeting a wandering cleric bound for a remote hermitage. Their journey leads them through war‑torn lands, past rival lords and fragile truces, and into the quiet sanctuary of the Cross Abbey. Here, the knight encounters a humble hermit whose stories hint at deeper conflicts shaping the realm, setting the stage for the adventures that lie ahead.
