"Cliges: A Romance" by Chrétien de Troyes is a poem written around 1176. This Arthurian romance unfolds in two parts: first following Alexander, a Greek prince who becomes a knight at King Arthur's court and marries the queen's niece, and then their son Cligès, who falls dangerously in love with his uncle's wife, Fenice. Their forbidden passion leads to elaborate deceptions, magical potions, and a daring escape that challenges the boundaries of courtly love and chivalric honor.
