context_page_description: The Romanz du reis Yder is a medieval Anglo-Norman Arthurian romance, of which 6,769 octosyllablic verse lines survive. It was characterised in 1946 as 'equal in merit to some of Chrétien's best work, and deserves to be better known; the author's style is attractive and full of picturesque detail'. But the scholarly neglect of it since suggests that not all readers have formed quite so effervescent an opinion of the work.
