This volume presents the first widely available edition in English of the medieval romance Blandin de Cornoalha, accompanied by a translation and introduction to the work. Composed in the second half of the fourteenth century by an anonymous author, the story offers an early recording of the Sleeping Beauty folktale, incorporated into the adventures of two knights. Many elements in this romance from the south of France are comic, suggesting that Blandin is not simply a tale of knights in battle but also a parody of medieval romance in general.

The medieval romance Blandin de Cornoalha, written in the second half of the fourteenth century by an unknown author, is presented in this volume in its first widely accessible English edition. The story, which features two knights, includes an early version of the Sleeping Beauty folktale. Numerous aspects of this romance, set in the south of France, are humorous, indicating that Blandin is not just a story of knights in combat but also a parody of medieval romance as a whole.
