Erex saga
Erex saga is an Old Norse-Icelandic prose translation of Chrétien de Troyes' Old French romance Erec et Enide.[1] It was likely written for the court of king Hákon Hákonarson of Norway, along with the adaptations of Chrétien de Troyes' Yvain (Ívens saga) and Perceval (Parcevals saga).[1] The saga is preserved completely only in 17th century manuscripts.[1]
