Not yet. I got so sick of the pages and pages of lamenting in Cliges that I stopped reading. :) I think what I'm going to do is just skip this one and go on and read about Lancelot.

it has some juicey spots in it. lots of jousting and fighting descriptions in it. but you also learn on how much of a tool Lance is hehehe.

Gotta add this to the collection; I just got through Crouch's William the Marshal, talk about dry. lol

Which reminds me, I found T.H. White's personification of Lancelot to be apt; that is, he truly is the best knight but by God, he is also the unloveliest.  Had me cracking up!

Edited to add: thank you eBay; just won this, should be winging its way to my abode shortly.  Thanks for sharing.
