Fergus of Galloway (Everyman's Library (Paper)) de Guillaume Le Clerc
A supposed peasant's son rides out to join Arthur's court and seek adventure, killing giants, evil knights, etc. and defeating many in combat to save his lady love. Repetitious and some actions seem pointless.
Fergus has adventures often parallel to Percival and Ywain in Chretien of Troyes' works. The focus is, rather Scottish, with an air of being made up to reassure local employers that Arthur had other Scots knights than the gloomy Orkney clan. Somewhat coarser, satire perhaps?
Orig. appeared in Arthurian Literature VIII (Boydell/Brewer, 1989)
