Summary

Description
English: Lancelot du Lac manuscript copied in Poitiers 1480

BnF, Manuscripts, French 111 fol. 9

Morgan, Arthur's sister, one day caught the knight she loved in the arms of another young lady. She bewitched the place and decided that any knight passing through this valley would be condemned to stay there if he failed in love. For twenty years, two hundred and fifty three knights have been living there with their mistresses, without anyone being able to leave it. This Val is for them "without return", until the day when will deliver them a knight with the heart which will never have failed in love: Lancelot.
