Four Medieval Love Stories You May
Not Know
Have you ever wept for the heartrending love of Romeo and Juliet, or sighed over the cruel fate shared by Tristan and Isolde? Or, perhaps, pitied Lancelot when he is tormented by his affair with Guinevere, while moved by the tragedy of Sigurðr, the mighty dragon-slayer, and his proud Valkyrie lover? No doubt, these characters experienced feelings so profound, that they felt they were worth dying for...However epic their love stories are, they are not the only memorable lovers in medieval literature.
