Cligès by Chrétien de Troyes
A medieval romance that follows Cligès, a celebrated young knight whose passionate love for Fenice, a noblewoman already pledged to an older ruler, leads them into a secret, adulterous relationship; their deception and the efforts to conceal and justify their bond test the ideals of courtly love and chivalric honor, forcing conflicts between personal desire and social duty and bringing dramatic moral consequences for both lovers.
