[[Chrétien de Troyes]] was a French poet in the late 12th century, most well known for his [[King Arthur|Arthurian romances]]. He introduced the affair between Queen Guinevere and Lancelot, the quest for the Holy Grail, and the Fisher King into the Arthur mythos, and greatly influenced later writers. His [[Epic Poem|epic poems]] about Knights of the Table Round were seminal works of the [[Chivalric Romance]] genre, and [[Follow the Leader|emulated countless times]] by later poets.
 
His final work, ''Perceval, the Story of the Grail'', was never finished due to [[Author Existence Failure]], although several other poets attempted to finish it.
