Owein, neu Chwedl Iarlles y Ffynnawn/ Owain, or the Tale of the Lady of the Fountain

The Welsh prose tale, Owein, neu Chwedl Iarlles y Ffynnawn (Owain, or the tale of the Lady of the Fountain), is one of three Welsh Arthurian romances composed in the first half of the thirteenth century. The tale corresponds closely to the twelfth‐century French narrative poem, Yvain , by Chrétien de Troyes. It recounts the story of a well‐known Welsh hero who has to reconcile the conflicting obligations of marriage and knighthood.
