Between 1176 and 1181, Chrétien de Troyes wrote the romance Le Chevalier de la Charrette, dedicated to Lancelot du Lac. This famous knight of King Arthur receives a shameful nickname in it because he boards the cart of shame, a means of transport for criminals. Driven by his love, he steps into it to find his beloved.
What crime has Lancelot committed and what fate awaits him? Bystanders ask these questions as they witness his humiliation. This doubt forms an ominous omen in his heroic career.
Behind his actions lies a forbidden love for Queen Guenièvre, the wife of King Arthur. This passion is fervent and unacceptable.
