Lais by Marie de France is a collection of twelve short narrative poems written in Anglo-Norman French in the 12th century. Each lai (a type of medieval romance poem) explores themes of courtly love, chivalry, loyalty, and the supernatural. The stories often feature knights, noble ladies, magical animals, or enchanted events, and they usually involve tests of love, identity, and honor.
