«Some time ago now, I wrote about Lanval, a knight-meets-fairy-mistress lai
first recorded by Marie de France that has survived in Old French, Middle
English and Old Norse versions. Somewhat more recently, it was made into a
rather charming film by the Chagford Filmmaking Group, a Devon-based
organisation specialising in films of British fairy tales. Made in 2010 in
collaboration with the Centre de l’Imaginaire Arthurien, and directed by
Elizabeth-Jane Baldry (who also composed the film’s score), Sir Lanval is the
group’s first full-length film, and a delightful, whimsical retelling of the
medieval lai. Based on Marie de France’s twelfth-century version of the tale,
Sir Lanval follows the same essential plot: Lanval, a young knight of King
Arthur’s court, meets a fairy (named here as Tryamour) who grants him her love
and unlimited wealth, on condition that he keep their relationship secret.
However, goaded by Queen Guinevere, who attempts to seduce him and then sneers
that he evidently prefers vallez…bien afeitiez, ‘well-trained young men’,
when he refuses her advances, Lanval rashly declares that he already has a lover
far more beautiful than the queen. At this, the spell is broken and Tryamour
disappears, leaving Lanval to be put on trial for his life after Guinevere
successfully convinces her husband that the knight had first propositioned and
then insulted her. On the day of the trial, Tryamour rides into Camelot and
vindicates Lanval, before the lovers leave the court forever en Avalun,/Ceo
nus recuntent li Bretun, ‘to Avalon, or so the Bretons tell us’. ...»
