Part 2! In this episode we finishing looking at Ulrich von Zatzikhoven’s Lanzelet. It’s an early German language Arthurian poem (c. 1200) centering on the figure of Lanzelet (AKA Lancelot), however it’s not the adulterous Lancelot we’re most familiar with. Instead Lanzelet is a naive knight raised on an island of Fairy women trying to figure out his name. In this podcast we finish up the story. The translation I’m using is a prose translation by Thomas Kerth titled Lanzelet published in 2005 by Columbia UP.
