Lesson plan
Erec
Erec, son of King Lac, is a knight of the Round Table in the Arthurian legend. He is most famous as the protagonist in Chrétien de Troyes' first romance, Erec and Enide, which was later retold in Erec, Erex saga, Prose Erec, and other versions. Because of Erec and Enide s connection to the Welsh tale Geraint and Enid, Erec's figure in the latter romance is conflated with the Welsh folklore hero Geraint.
