As we approach Valentine’s Day, we’ll look at some famous medieval love triangles. We’ll find out how sultry love stories from classical times were brought into the middle ages. We’ll look at the debut of Sir Lancelot in literature and get some insight into how women became exalted in the chivalric tradition. We’ll find a queen of an aged king who managed to keep the proper relationship between herself and the young warriors around her. And we’ll get a sense of how writers distinguished between love and sex.
