Vulgate Cycle

The Vulgate Cycle is a series of medieval French prose works that retell the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Composed in the 13th century, it consists of various interconnected tales that explore themes of chivalry, love, and betrayal. Key characters include King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, and the wizard Merlin. This cycle, also known as the "Lancelot-Grail" cycle, significantly influenced later Arthurian literature and provided a comprehensive narrative about the legendary king and his companions, blending adventure with moral lessons and deepening the mythos surrounding Arthurian legends.
